Bessemer Venture: which MBA programs it recruits from
Bessemer Venture (Venture Capital) appears on the published MBA employer lists of 3 of the 26 top U.S. business schools that name their recruiters, for the Classes of 2023 to 2025. It recruits narrowly, so school choice matters if this is your target.
Its H-1B record: no approved new-employment petition was found under this name in USCIS data for fiscal years 2024 to 2026. Roughly one such employer in ten files under a different legal name, so treat this as "none found" rather than "never".
