We are proud to announce that Abby Meyers is our newest Partner at Bain Capital Ventures. We first met Abby when she was working at Bain & Company as an Associate Consultant. Back then, we were struck by her poise, clarity of thought, and eloquence. In a glowing reference call, Abby’s manager at the time said she was hands down the strongest AC he had worked with in many years at Bain: brilliant, a joy to work with, “just gets it.” She was hired as soon as we hung up the phone.

In the three years since she joined us, Abby has continued her rapid trajectory. She has been instrumental in deploying over $190 million across six breakout companies, five of which have achieved unicorn status. Abby’s fingerprints are all over these investments, from sourcing and diligencing them to winning over each founder with her thoughtfulness and care.

Abby operates under the assumption that conventional narratives are incomplete. Rather than relying on hype or consensus, Abby builds independent conviction through original research. For MaintainX, her work illuminated that the company’s potential extended beyond maintenance software into a more ambitious horizontal platform for managing physical operations. That insight allowed us to articulate a differentiated investment case. In the case of Apollo, she ran large-scale A/B experiments to compare its data quality to that of incumbents, giving us primary evidence to reach our own conclusions and ignore prevailing narratives. When researching Whop, she embedded herself directly in Discord and Reddit communities and initiated conversations with creators, giving us early visibility into the way new commerce platforms were taking shape in the creator economy.

Abby’s inclination to deeply understand businesses serves her well in interactions with founders. Hardly a day goes by when a founder doesn’t respond to an Abby inquiry with “Good question.” Her innate curiosity and intense level of preparation allow her to ask the right question at the right time, day in and day out. She listens carefully and interprets answers with a wisdom that far exceeds her tenure. She frequently produces “a-ha” moments that shape our collective thinking. Her desire to get to the truth—by asking the next question, finding the unexpected angle, posing new hypotheses—has become the hallmark of her approach to investing.

There is a mythos around the “10x engineer” in tech whose contribution is disproportionately valuable and changes the trajectory of a team. Abby brings that same multiplier effect to investing and makes everyone around her better. But perhaps most importantly, Abby combines her first-rate intellect with integrity, humility, and positivity. We are fortunate to have Abby on our team and we celebrate this well-deserved recognition of her unique contributions.
