Benchmark is a venture investment partnership based in the San Francisco Bay Area, backing technology founders at seed and Series A and continuing with companies through later financings.
Partner Chetan Puttagunta describes its early investing as work that can begin before a company has a product, revenue or operating metrics. The focus at that point is on the founding team and the business it intends to create.
Its relationship with tax software company Numeral illustrates continued participation: Benchmark led the Series A and also joined the company’s Series C. The financing relationship can therefore extend beyond the initial institutional round.
