Today we celebrate our newest Vice President, Lindsey Li! 🎉 "As investors, we only succeed if we remain both optimistic and humble about what the future may entail," says Lindsey. "I search for those same qualities in the founders we work with, and I’m constantly reminded at Bessemer to balance deep research and healthy skepticism with a bright enthusiasm to back the new solutions that’ll help build a better society.” Since joining the firm’s analyst program in 2019, Lindsey has boldly pursued contrarian roadmaps and built enduring relationships with entrepreneurs in multiple sectors—she focuses on Seed through Series B investments in enterprise AI/ML infrastructure, developer platforms, and gaming. https://lnkd.in/gJjR6Bnf
