#42 James Cham

James Cham #42 Partner, Bloomberg Beta James Cham started his career as a programmer, but when the startup where he worked was acquired, he decided to try his hand at startup investing. After five years at Bessemer Venture Partners, Cham took a leap of faith to become a founding partner at Bloomberg Beta, a firm that counts Bloomberg as its sole investor. He focuses on investments in consumer services, enterprise software, and digital media, and he uses his experience as a software developer to help him identify tools that he wished for back in his programmer days. That insight led him to invest early in LaunchDarkly, which hit a $3 billion valuation last year. Source: businessInsider
