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.

Cloud cost uncertainty isn’t a fluke; it’s by design. Cloud providers profit from complexity: 💸 Granular billing 💸 Shifting discount programs 💸 Opaque pricing for AI workloads 💸 Exploding SaaS and shadow IT The result? Engineering and FinOps leaders are left scrambling to explain unpredictable cloud bills while innovation can’t slow down. Traditional dashboards and static budgets won’t save you. You need adaptive cloud cost management that embeds cost awareness into engineering workflows, detects anomalies early, and drives shared accountability. We break it all down in our latest post, including 5 steps to start leading through the chaos.

The leading AI application platform Anyscale is partnering with Common Room to reimagine what data-driven go-to-market looks like (and love seeing the results—2x pipeline QoQ!). Innovators like Bill O'Connor and the Anyscale team are using signals, AI, and automation to map out their buyer universe, refresh leads based on what’s happening in real time, and take action fast. Better yet, they’re showing what it looks like when Ops, sales, and marketing work in lock step to drive pipe. Learn about their playbook here 👇 https://lnkd.in/gW6qjXqs
