Amit is a second-generation venture capital investor at Bessemer Venture Partners whose father was one of the early VCs backing Israel's startup scene in the 1990s, and he developed an early conviction-driven thesis around "asset management for security" that led him to lead Axonius's Series A when they had only a handful of customers and ~$400k ARR. He's known for backing founders over initial ideas and actively supporting pivots, as demonstrated when he encouraged the StackPulse team to reassess the market and pivot to become Torq, emphasizing that he backs founders rather than companies' initial ideas and stays in the trenches with them through major strategic shifts.
