Mary Meeker

Mary Meeker built her reputation as Morgan Stanley's internet analyst in the 1990s, gaining fame for predicting the rise of the internet economy. She joined Kleiner Perkins as a venture capitalist and continued publishing the annual "Internet Trends Report" — a comprehensive presentation on the state of the internet economy, mobile adoption, advertising trends, and technology disruption — that became must-reading for technology investors, executives, and venture capitalists. At its peak, the report received hundreds of millions of views. She founded Bond Capital in 2019 to focus on later-stage technology investments. Her analytical frameworks for thinking about internet economics influenced how an entire generation understood the digital economy. Bond Capital focuses on growth-stage technology companies that have demonstrated product-market fit and are scaling toward profitability. Meeker's reputation for identifying transformative technology companies early, built through her Morgan Stanley analyst career and Kleiner Perkins tenure, gave Bond Capital a strong brand among late-stage technology founders seeking capital and strategic guidance.
