Greylock

We - Greylock - have a long history of partnering with founders starting at day one through IPO. We are excited to share new steps in that effort: 1/ Fund 17, our newest $1B early-stage fund focused on Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A founders in enterprise & consumer software - specifically AI-first companies across Cyber, Infra, SaaS, Consumer, Marketplaces & Commerce, and Fintech & Crypto. 2/ Edge, a bespoke program to help founders initiate new companies by harnessing the full potential of Greylock’s resources & expertise. Our team works directly with founders to brainstorm & iterate foundational decisions with fully flexible financing options. (visit greylock.com/edge for more info) We are privileged to be early partners to Airbnb, AppDynamics, LinkedIn, Meta, Palo Alto Networks, Okta, Workday and more recently, Abnormal Security, Cato Networks, Discord, Figma, Lyra Health and Rubrik. We can't wait to help the next gen of founders go from idea to iconic.

Had a great time catching up with more than 150 security founders and friends at our annual RSA happy hour. If building a security startup is more competitive than ever, it’s driven by an opportunity set more attractive than ever: - Combatting new offensive agents from nation state actors - Insecure codegen as a tailwind for AppSec - Enabling the secure adoption of AI in enterprises - Finally fixing identity - MCP and multi-agent orchestration across security teams Send us a note for next year if we didn’t catch you this time!

How do you build enduring companies at the intersection of AI and financial services? Last week, Greylock partner Seth Rosenberg and three founders reshaping fintech — Mitchell Troyanovsky from Basis, John W. from Rogo, and Jamie Cuffe from Foundation AI — dove into that very topic. From autonomous agents for accountants to financial reasoning engines for bankers, these founders are pioneering applied AI across insurance, accounting, and banking. In this conversation, we cover what actually matters when building AI-native fintech: product depth, early customer obsession, creative pricing models, and hiring engineers who think beyond code. Full conversation is up on our channel here: https://lnkd.in/dE74Ku6P
