单集文稿 ...

  • Welcome to Goldman Sachs exchanges, great investors.

  • I'm Ken Hirsch, Co-Chairman of the Global Technology,

  • Media and Telecom Group and head of venture capital coverage within Goldman Sachs's global banking and markets business.

  • Today I have the great pleasure of speaking with Byron Dieter, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners.

  • Bessemer is one of the largest and best known venture capital funds out there and Byron himself has backed 26 companies that are currently valued over a billion dollars.

  • Byron and I will discuss the venture landscape and the most promising developments in AI and the software industry.

  • I'm particularly excited to hear his uniquely informed views about what tomorrow's most valuable companies are doing today.

  • Byron, welcome to Great Investors.

  • Always fun to be with you, Ken.

  • Thank you.

  • So before you were a venture investor at Bessemer, working with CEOs of promising companies,

  • You were a CEO of a promising software company yourself,

  • working with the venture investors at Bessemer.

  • Tell us about Trigo Technologies.

  • What was the genesis of that company?

  • I got the bug for tech.

  • So I was actually working at TA Associates at the time back when they did venture.

  • They've moved into private equity more now,

  • but saw the market opportunity when looking to invest in a business that was addressing the supply side of the e-commerce and marketplace wave.

  • didn't find a company to invest in and so decided to start it instead.
