About
Byron Deeter is a leading investor in Cloud and AI at Bessemer Venture Partners. He co-authored Bessemer’s iconic 10 Laws of Cloud Computing, the annual State of the Cloud Report, the Bessemer Forbes Cloud 100, and BVP Nasdaq Emerging Cloud Index. Byron works closely alongside many of the best founders in the cloud world, with 26 of Byron’s investments currently valued above $1 billion, including a dozen IPOs and counting.
Byron first raised a Series A with Bessemer back in 2000, as CEO and founder of Trigo Technologies. His company grew to be one of the first global SaaS companies, reaching profitability and was successfully sold to IBM. Byron foresaw that cloud computing would not only change the way people built new technologies but also how The Cloud would systematically run the world. In 2005, Byron returned to Bessemer, this time to help lead the firm’s global cloud practice.
Byron graduated with honors from The University of California, Berkeley, where he met his then college sweetheart and now wife. Byron is a perennial Midas List investor, the Chairman of the National Venture Capital Association, and an active board member/advisor to numerous causes including the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation, Pledge 1% and Cal Rugby. Although he’s a four-time Rugby Collegiate National Champion and serial Ironman finisher, most of his exercise these days comes from trying to keep up with his wife and three children.
