Bessemer has built a brand as some of the best software investors in the world, and their portfolio consists of companies like Twilio, Shopify, LinkedIn, Twitch, and DocuSign just to name a few. Gaby is one of the newest members of the fund, and she’s already made quite a name for herself within the venture world.

In this talk, we discuss:
