Bain Capital Ventures invests from seed through growth equity, writing checks of $1 million to $100 million.
The firm's newest fund is built around what it calls "life after AGI," backing startups building the application and infrastructure layer that becomes valuable once artificial general intelligence is a widely available baseline capability, rather than funding the race to AGI itself.
Its sector focus spans AI applications, AI infrastructure, physical AI, commerce, fintech, industrials, security, and healthcare.
