No agenda, no rush, no leaving San Francisco: Benchmark’s partners on investing in a frenzied market
The players sometimes change. I sat down with four of Benchmark’s partners three years ago , and three of those individuals are no longer with the firm.
AI Summary
Benchmark announced a $2 billion raise across two funds this summer, the firm’s second time in 31 years moving away from a smaller vehicle. At TechCrunch Disrupt, its five partners emphasized a close‑knit culture and a deliberate investment pace of two or three new bets per partner each year. Despite a market accelerating faster than ever, the partners said their Monday partner meetings still have no agenda. They remain unconcerned by economic warning signs, viewing many concerns as “X‑fueled hysteria.”
