About Michael Berolzheimer

Michael Berolzheimer is the Founder and Managing Partner of Bee Partners, the pre-seed firm he started fifteen years ago to back radical technical founders at inception. He is a hands-on builder who develops proprietary AI and graph-based tools for portfolio intelligence, a practice rooted in his conviction that if AI will reshape every industry, venture capital should be no exception. Under his leadership Bee Partners has backed nearly 100 technical founders at inception across four funds; roughly 60 percent of its companies have historically reached a Series A, the portfolio has raised more than $2 billion in follow-on capital, and nineteen pre-seed investments have grown to more than $100 million in enterprise value. The firm's exits include TubeMogul, which went public, BuildingConnected, acquired by Autodesk, tbh, acquired by Facebook, and TensorStax, acquired by Snowflake.
