Matt Cohler· Partner· United Statesin 𝕏

Matthew R. “Matt” Cohler is a technology operator, venture investor and public-company director whose career connects the early LinkedIn and Facebook networks to Benchmark's consumer, marketplace and software portfolio. Born in 1977 according to secondary biographies, he graduated from Yale in 2001 with a B.A. in music, cum laude and with distinction, after an early period working at AsiaInfo in Beijing; he then consulted in McKinsey's Silicon Valley office. Reid Hoffman recruited him to LinkedIn's founding team in 2003, where he served as vice president and general manager, and Peter Thiel introduced him to Facebook in early 2005. Facebook and issuer records variously call him one of the first five hires or employee No. 7; both describe him as the first outside executive hire. As vice president of product management he helped guide product, strategy and organizational growth through the network's expansion, then remained a special adviser after leaving in June 2008. At 31 he joined Benchmark's equal partnership. Directly documented Cohler-led or boarded investments include Asana, Quora, Instagram, ResearchGate, Peixe Urbano, Couchsurfing, Domo, 1stDibs, Edmodo, Xapo, Duo Security, Tinder, Greenhouse and DeepL; Axios also directly attributes Dropbox to him. Instagram, Asana, Domo, 1stDibs, Duo and Edmodo produced acquisitions or public listings, while Peixe Urbano later collapsed and Couchsurfing's conversion from nonprofit to venture-backed benefit corporation generated community criticism. Benchmark-wide relationships with Uber, Twitter, Zendesk, Snapchat and HackerOne are separated from sole deal leadership. His stated method is bottom-up and founder-first: identify extraordinary people, clarity of purpose, products users love organically, a narrow wedge capable of reshaping a market, and genuine network or marketplace liquidity. He stepped out of new Benchmark funds in 2018 but retained legacy-board and fund interests. He served on Uber's board from the 2017 governance crisis through July 2019, resigning without disagreement; he left Asana's board in June 2026 in an orderly refresh. Current filing-confirmed boards are KKR and 1stDibs, where he is lead independent director. Public service includes vice-chair roles at Environmental Defense Fund and the San Francisco Symphony and investment-committee service for Yale and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Company announcements identify later personal angel investments in PortalOne and Enode; their vehicles and amounts are undisclosed. No complete personal or Benchmark return record is public.

Bruce Dunlevie· General Partner· Athertonin

Bruce W. Dunlevie is a technology venture investor, operator, director and institutional trustee. He grew up in Dallas, studied History at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1977 during his 1975-1979 Rice education, earned a Rice B.A. in English/History in 1979 and a Stanford M.B.A. in 1984 as an Arjay Miller Scholar. After systems-design work at Arthur Andersen/Andersen Consulting and three years in Goldman Sachs investment banking, he founded and ran Everex Systems' personal-computer division, then joined Merrill, Pickard, Anderson & Eyre in 1989. His pre-Benchmark/Merrill Pickard record includes Rambus, Approach Software, Palm Computing and other hardware, semiconductor and enterprise companies; those outcomes must not be retroactively assigned to Benchmark. In 1995 he co-founded Benchmark with Bob Kagle, Andy Rachleff, Kevin Harvey and Val Vaden. Kevin Harvey says Kagle originated the equal-economics model, while Dunlevie supplied an existing founder relationship through Approach. Dunlevie later conceived and championed Benchmark Capital Europe, recruited its first partners and moved his family to London; that operation eventually became independent Balderton Capital. His best-supported Benchmark relationships include Accept.com, Handspring/Palm, Good Technology, Matrix Semiconductor, NetXen, RMI, ServiceSource, Tabula, One Medical, Marin Software, Coverity, Bo.lt, Klip, Aquifi, WeWork, Euclid, EnVerv, Jasper and Fantex. One Medical, WeWork and CarbonDrop are especially well documented by filings; Mon Ami is explicitly personal angel activity. Famous firm-wide outcomes such as eBay, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Uber and Zillow are not claimed as his deals. His public method emphasizes asymmetric upside ('What could go right?'), founder character, minority-investor persuasion, trust and board materials designed for strategic discussion. Results include major acquisitions and IPOs, but also Tabula's shutdown, Bo.lt's service closure, Aquifi's apparent wind-down, Fantex's failed retail model, Marin and ServiceSource value destruction, and WeWork's failed 2019 IPO and 2023 bankruptcy. At WeWork, Dunlevie sourced the relationship and served from 2012 to 2023; reporting says he opposed Adam Neumann's super-voting demand, warned that absolute power corrupts, yet ultimately approved the control structure and was at times more deferential than Benchmark colleagues. He later joined the effort that removed Neumann. At ServiceSource, shareholders rejected his 2019 re-election, but the board declined his tendered resignation before he retired in 2020. Public service spans Rice and Stanford trusteeships, Stanford Management Company chairmanship, the Getty board and Trinity fellow-benefactor status. With his wife Elizabeth he has funded Rice humanities and athletics, Trinity student support, Stanford programs and an $80 million maternal-fetal medicine gift. Public political giving appears selective and historically bipartisan; aggregation totals are unreliable and no partisan identity is inferred.

Kevin Harvey· General Partner· Menlo Park, Californiain 𝕏

Kevin R. Harvey is a software entrepreneur, venture investor, public-company director, winemaker and philanthropist. Born in California and raised in Houston, he earned a Rice B.S. in electrical engineering in 1987 while building StyleWare, an Apple II software publisher he co-founded in 1985. Claris acquired StyleWare in 1988; Harvey became its Apple II group product manager and worked on the product lineage that included AppleWorks GS and ClarisWorks. Around 1990 he founded Approach Software, served as president and CEO and used direct-market price testing to build a best-selling Windows database before Lotus acquired the company in 1993; he then managed the Approach team at Lotus until 1995. Bruce Dunlevie, an Approach investor and director, recruited him to the five-person founding group of Benchmark. Harvey's first-person history credits Bob Kagle—not Harvey—with designing Benchmark's equal-economics/equal-voice model. His strongest attributable Benchmark record is enterprise, infrastructure, open source and online work: MySQL, Proofpoint, Tellme, Zimbra, Ingenio, Metaweb, Terracotta, Bytemobile, Eucalyptus, RightScale, CloudPassage, BOKU and oDesk/Upwork, plus earlier board relationships including Red Hat, Broadbase, Critical Path and Ashford.com. MySQL produced a $1 billion Sun sale from a reported 26% Benchmark stake; Proofpoint progressed from a 2002 board relationship to a 2012 IPO and $12.3 billion Thoma Bravo sale; oDesk became Upwork, where Harvey remains an independent director and governance-committee member. Not every outcome was a clean win: Highlight failed to achieve mass adoption before a Pinterest acqui-hire; Eucalyptus reportedly sold below $100 million after substantial funding; Ashford, Broadbase and Critical Path were damaged in the dot-com collapse; and current or private-company economics remain undisclosed. Firm-wide eBay, Uber, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat outcomes are not treated as Harvey-led. His sparse public investment commentary favors early technically differentiated products, large emerging markets, founder quality, direct evidence and choosing a venture partner able to represent the firm. Since planting backyard vines in 1995, he has applied unusually empirical site, soil and weather analysis to Rhys and later Aeris. That positive record is balanced by Rhys Vineyard LLC's 2019 $3.763 million settlement over alleged unpermitted wetland, stream, road and reservoir violations; the company expressed regret and funded remediation, while no personal fraud finding was made. With wife Catherine, Harvey gave Rice $4 million for its D2K data-science lab. Public family information is limited to Catherine, his father Reese Harvey's Rice mathematics career and the couple's institutionally announced giving.

Mitch Lasky· Partner· Athertonin 𝕏

Mitchell Harold “Mitch” Lasky is a games and consumer-technology operator, venture investor, director and media host. Born in Los Angeles in 1962, he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College in History and Literature and earned a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law. He practiced technology and intellectual-property law at Irell & Manella, including Atari Games v. Nintendo work, moved to new-media business affairs at Disney, and founded the failed multiplayer-game startup Serum. At Activision he built third-party publishing, culminating in Quake III Arena, and later ran worldwide studios across products including Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Spider-Man. He then led JAMDAT Mobile from startup scale through a 2004 Nasdaq IPO and its $680 million cash sale to Electronic Arts, where he became executive vice president for mobile and online gaming. Lasky joined Benchmark in 2007-2008 and stopped making new firm investments in 2018. His directly attributable institutional record includes Vivox, Engine Yard, Grockit, Riot Games, Gaikai, Red Robot Labs, Meteor Entertainment, NaturalMotion, thatgamecompany, Snap, Hammer & Chisel/Discord, Cyanogen, PlayFab, Outpost Games, Manticore Games and Ubiquity6. Major documented exits include Riot’s Tencent transactions, Gaikai’s $380 million sale to Sony, NaturalMotion’s approximately $522 million accounting-value sale to Zynga, PlayFab’s sale to Microsoft and Vivox’s sale to Unity. Discord and thatgamecompany remain long-running board relationships. Snap filings distinguish Lasky’s own shares from shared beneficial ownership attributed through Benchmark VII funds. Instagram, Twitter, Uber and other celebrated Benchmark investments during his tenure are firm-wide results, not claimed here as Lasky-led. Failures and impaired outcomes include Serum, Cyanogen’s commercial-OS shutdown, Meteor’s closure and Hawken asset sale, Ubiquity6’s product abandonment before a team/technology acquisition, and Outpost’s failure to establish a durable product. His thesis treats games as franchise, service, community, distribution and platform businesses rather than isolated content hits; he emphasizes go-to-market, organic audience formation, founder learning, capital efficiency and businesses that can compound beyond one title. Since frontline investing he has co-hosted Gamecraft with Blake Robbins, mentored founders and investors, made disclosed personal angel investments in GFAL and Levellr, and served as an LAFC director and owner. A 2010 California appellate decision revived shareholder fiduciary-duty allegations against JAMDAT’s individual directors over the EA sale process, including Lasky’s negotiation and employment interests; it decided pleading sufficiency, not liability, and the reviewed record does not establish a merits finding against him.
