BVP Forge, the Redwood City-based private equity firm affiliated with Bessemer Venture Partners, has successfully closed its second fund, Forge II, at $1 billion.
The move boosts the firm’s total assets under management to $2.3 billion, expanding its reach within the broader $19 billion Bessemer platform.
Partnering with Industry-Defining Ventures
Bessemer Venture Partners has a long track record of backing standout companies, including LinkedIn, Shopify, PagerDuty, Twilio, and Toast.
By integrating BVP Forge with this powerhouse platform, the firm can offer growth-oriented businesses access to a network of resources and expertise while remaining focused on profitable, self-sustaining enterprises.
Focus on Growth-Stage Technology and Services Businesses
Since its launch four years ago, BVP Forge has concentrated on growth buyouts and minority investments in technology and services businesses generating $10-50 million in revenue.
Unlike Bessemer’s main venture funds, which focus on early-stage ventures, BVP Forge targets later-stage companies that are already profitable or cash-flow positive and are seeking liquidity.

BVP Forge operates as an independent private equity arm within the Bessemer ecosystem.
Its dedicated team helps management teams scale their businesses through the ForgeEdge™ program.
This initiative strengthens systems, processes, and talent across critical functions, from engineering and product development to go-to-market strategies.
Building a Growing Portfolio

The successful close of Forge II positions the firm to continue investing in and accelerating growth for self-sustaining businesses in the technology and services space.
