Description

Greylock is a venture capital firm focused on being the first partner to founders, with over 80% of its investments made at Pre-Seed, Seed, or Series A stages, often starting from just an idea on a whiteboard. The firm concentrates on AI-first companies and areas where software can reshape or create industries, spanning AI, cybersecurity, infrastructure, SaaS, consumer, marketplaces & commerce, and fintech & crypto. Its portfolio includes well-known companies such as Airbnb, Figma, Facebook, Palo Alto Networks, Abnormal AI, Baseten, Discord, LinkedIn, Okta, Roblox, Rubrik, and Workday. Greylock also runs Greylock Edge, a bespoke three-month company-building program for select pre-idea, pre-seed, and seed founders, where Greylock partners work directly with founders on foundational decisions from inception through product-market fit, with flexible financing options.
