BESSEMER BEAM

A pre-incubator startup launchpad.

Commercializing deeply technical ideas is exceedingly hard. That's why we created Bessemer Beam, a pre-incubator startup launchpad program and community helping deeply technical founders start their own AI companies. Curated from Bessemer Venture Partners’ decades of experience supporting founder journeys, Beam includes everything you’ll need to get off the ground and start building, from compute resources to startup counsel and advisor support. It’s our job as investors to earn the right to invest. That’s why Beam is free. No equity or debt. All we ask for is the ability to invest 30% of your next financings (capped at $3M) at whatever terms you decide with your lead investor, and with zero discount to Bessemer.
