Mary Meeker

Mary Meeker is a venture capitalist and the founder of BOND Capital, where she manages over $5.75 billion across three funds with a portfolio spanning 176 investments and 51 unicorns. Known as the 'Queen of the Internet' since Barron's coined the title in 1998, she spent 19 years at Morgan Stanley advising on landmark IPOs including Netscape and Google, then a decade at Kleiner Perkins backing Airbnb, Slack, and Spotify. Her annual Internet Trends reports, published from 1995 to 2019 and revived with a 340-slide AI Trends report in May 2025, became required reading across Silicon Valley. A data-driven pattern-finder from small-town Portland, Indiana, Meeker has spent three decades spotting the shape of tomorrow before most people recognize today.
