Benchmark Capital

Benchmark Capital was founded in 1995 with the mission of helping talented entrepreneurs build major technology enterprises focused on long-term growth. The firm's strategy is to be the first investor in technology-driven companies that seek to create new markets and have significant growth potential. The firm focuses on early-stage investing and takes a labor-intensive, service-oriented approach in markets where partners have direct experience. Benchmark manages more than $2 billion in committed venture capital. The bulk of the capital comes from university endowments, pension funds, charitable foundations and entrepreneurs.
