Partner Kevin Zhang emphasized that the firm’s strategy centers on making compute infrastructure so inexpensive that it becomes nearly free to use. This vision is anchored by portfolio companies like Crusoe, a data center developer currently valued at $30 billion. Beyond raw compute, the firm is eyeing the intersection of security and national infrastructure, as well as healthcare innovations like the pet-focused longevity startup Loyal.

Bain Capital Ventures targets the post-AGI era with $1.6 billion fund
Bain Capital Ventures has secured $1.6 billion for its eleventh fund, signaling a shift toward the post-AGI era. The firm intends to deploy this capital across 30 to 40 startups, focusing on the infrastructure, healthcare, and physical AI sectors as it seeks to capitalize on the plummeting costs of machine intelligence.
Unlike traditional venture models where a single partner oversees an investment, BCV utilizes a collaborative approach, often assigning teams of two or three partners to each deal. This structure aims to provide founders with deeper operational support, leveraging the firm’s connection to Bain Capital’s broader expertise in credit, real estate, and insurance. The new fund will prioritize investments from the seed through Series B stages, seeking to integrate venture capital with the scale of the firm’s private equity resources.
