Bessemer Venture Partners announced it has raised $5.75 billion across two new funds to accelerate investments across the AI stack. The firm allocated $1.75 billion for seed and early-stage investments and $4 billion for growth-stage startups.

Beyond NPS: Customer Trust Analytics Model for CX Strategy
This CMSWire article argues that traditional NPS and CSAT metrics are insufficient for measuring customer trust and proposes a trust analytics framework that combines sentiment analysis, behavioral indicators, and AI to predict loyalty and lifetime value. It cites recent research: 81% of consumers need to trust a brand before purchasing (eMarketer), 88% see distrust as a dealbreaker (Edelman), and marketing budgets have flatlined at 7.7% of revenue (Gartner). The framework covers metrics across acquisition, onboarding, engagement, and retention, and highlights AI-powered tools such as Lexalytics, Gainsight, Amplitude, Adobe Analytics, and Salesforce for journey and sentiment analysis. The article emphasizes ROI through churn reduction, cross-sell improvements, and premium pricing acceptance, making a case for embedding trust measurement into every marketing operation.
