Bessemer Venture Partners welcomes Lauri Moore as Partner 

We are thrilled to welcome Lauri Moore as our newest Partner where she will be focused on early-stage data science, developer tools, and related infrastructure investments. Her investment focus will complement the firm’s history of partnering with category-defining data infrastructure and developer platform companies such as Auth0, HashiCorp, Imply, Twilio, and Zapier, and more recently AI infrastructure investments like Coactive, Qwak and Voxel51.

Lauri has cultivated unique skill sets from investing, product management, and early stage operating. She joins the Bessemer team from Foundation Capital where she invested across the enterprise stack, primarily in the developer and data tooling area, as well as data infrastructure, including investments in Gable, Infield and dltHub.

She is a former founder of a company in the video-interviewing space, and previously, spent four years leading product management across LinkedIn’s enterprise jobs marketplace. A self-proclaimed economics nerd, she began her career at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and was a data scientist, turned product manager for startups Apture (acquired by Google) and Vast (acquired by Vroom).

“Lauri’s passion for early-stage infrastructure tools and all things developer-related will make her a strong addition to our Infrastructure team, at a time when AI is accelerating the pace of innovation,” said Partner David Cowan. “In addition, her deep product background as well as her strong aptitude for coaching entrepreneurs to solve complex problems, will greatly benefit our current and future founders. We are happy to welcome her to the team.”

"Bessemer has not only built a best-in-class platform but has also fostered an impressive culture of excellence that has been sustained over decades," said Lauri. "I'm delighted to be part of the team and look forward to supporting the exceptional founders of our generation."

Lauri will be based in our Redwood City office.
