Greylock’s Quiet $1.5B Bet on Early Stage | Tech News

Greylock Ventures, with six decades of legacy, just launched its 18th fund—$1.5 billion, a smartly scaled bet that reflects their philosophy: quality over quantity. They’re laser-focused on being the ultimate partner for top-tier founders, connecting them with talent and customers to fuel explosive growth. Think Baseten, now worth $13B, or Palo Alto Networks, born in their offices 21 years ago. With just 10 partners making 1-2 bets annually, they’re nurturing a curated portfolio of 25 companies. While they’re rooted in early-stage magic, they’re not shy about late-stage plays—like Anthropic, where they jumped in at $183B. Roughly 15% of the fund goes to these bold, later-stage moves, but their soul? Still in the trenches, betting on visionaries before their companies even exist.
