A few months ago, partners at Bessemer Venture Partners gathered together at a partner offsite event in Montana and discussed one big topic: artificial intelligence.
“The number one thing that was on every partner's mind in each of their respective categories...from health care to cyber to frontier tech, was how A.I. is impacting their areas,” partner Talia Goldberg told me yesterday. It was an unusual moment of unanimity within the VC firm, she says: “Very rarely is it…so clear and so obvious across our firm that this is so hugely important,” she says. It “became almost a no-brainer decision for us internally.”
