1/ With a long history of partnering w/ founders from idea to IPO, we @GreylockVC are excited to announce 2 new updates to advance this mission: 1/ Fund 17, our new $1B early-stage fund 2/ Edge, a bespoke program to help founders initiate new companies bit.ly/45fLmcr

A few weeks ago we @GreylockVC hosted a group of interns from across the AI ecosystem for a casino night cruise in SF. One of the best parts of venture is getting a front-row seat to the next generation of builders. In attendance were interns from companies like @OpenAI, @cognition, @DecagonAI, Long Lake, @Netic_AI, @appliedcompute, @databricks, @Etched, @modal, @harvey, @togethercompute, @cartesia, and more. Thanks to everyone who joined us!

Congratulations to @clattner_llvm, @iamtimdavis, and the entire @Modular team on today's announcement that Qualcomm has agreed to acquire the company for ~$4 billion. We at @GreylockVC have been fortunate to back Chris, Tim, and the team since their seed round, and it's been a privilege to partner with them from the start. Chris and Tim are an incredibly rare combination of world-class systems thinking and product taste, that can take deep technical complexity and make it highly usable for millions of developers. When they started Modular a little over four years ago, they had a prescient thesis that AI needed an open platform to runs models at state-of-the-art performance across heterogeneous hardware, without requiring developers to rewrite anything. They delivered it with Mojo and MAX, and now they'll accelerate that mission by pairing their software with Qualcomm's silicon leadership. We're grateful to have invested alongside @davemuni @GVteam, @deepnishar @generalcatalyst, and Chris Ré, and we're excited for this important milestone for Modular.

We are thrilled to share that @glennkelman has joined Greylock as an Executive in Residence. Glenn co-founded Plumtree Software, which went public in 2002, and spent nearly two decades as CEO of @Redfin, building it into the leading technology-powered real estate brokerage. At Greylock, he'll work directly with founders on leadership, company building, and the hard parts of scaling that don't fit neatly into a board deck. We know from working alongside entrepreneurs that building a great product is only part of the journey. The personal growth required to lead a company through every stage of scaling matters just as much. Early in his time at Redfin, Glenn was under enormous pressure and trying to do it all alone. A Greylock partner played a formative role in helping him find a different way to lead. In his own words: "A Greylock partner named James Slavet took me on a walk along a strip of airport hotels by the Bay. He made me feel that I was supported, but also that I could change. After that walk, I told our board what was really wrong with our business, so we could work together on how to fix it. I began trying to become a better colleague to all the beautiful Redfin people who made me successful. If I could go on a walk like that with any of you, my work here would be done." Welcome, Glenn!

💡It’s time for another systems reading group, this time with @resolveai! Join us for a session on scaling RL compute with Sean Bell, who leads RL Research at Resolve AI, and previously led LLM pre-training at MSL. Come by SFSRG on 6/24 👉 luma.com/greylock-tvb1

We’re excited to announce our $1.5B Series F. Baseten exists to help companies own their intelligence and run AI products in production with speed, reliability, and control. As we enter this next chapter, three things are clear: 1. Customers like Abridge, Clay, Cursor, Decagon, HubSpot, Lovable, Notion, and OpenEvidence are proving that AI can create transformational value across industries and workflows. They have built products where intelligence is core to the customer experience and central to the value they deliver. 2. Open models - like GLM 5.2 - are now exceptionally strong, and the quality gap with leading closed models is smaller than ever. We’re seeing more companies turn to open and specialized models for better economics, performance, and ownership over their stack. Baseten provides the fast, reliable inference layer to run those models in production across every modality. 3. Post-training is giving companies a path to turn their own data, evals, feedback, and judgment into durable technical advantage. The most sophisticated teams are already using RL and domain-specific optimization to outperform closed models on important tasks and workflows. This will become a defining capability for every company building at the application layer. We're excited to accelerate progress to this future of owned intelligence. Thank you to our customers for your trust and partnership. We’re grateful to be building this future with you!

Congratulations to @smehmood ,Conor, and the @niteshiftdev team on today’s launch and seed round announcement! We're excited to partner on this journey!

Greylock is excited to lead Niteshift’s $7M seed round, alongside @AmplifyPartners, @BoxGroup, and @svangel. Coding agents are quickly becoming capable of taking on longer, more complex engineering tasks. But the bottleneck has shifted from what agents can write to whether they can run, test, and verify their work in real development environments. Introducing Niteshift, the full-stack cloud for coding agents. Niteshift lets teams run frontier and open-source coding agents inside fully configured cloud dev environments, so agents can return pull requests with evidence that they work. @smehmood and Conor's infrastructure instincts come from years spent building at Datadog, where they worked across complex codebases, cloud development, observability, and production environments. They understand that the hard part is not just writing code, but giving software the environment, tools, and feedback loops it needs to work reliably. We’re proud to partner with Sajid, Conor, and the Niteshift team as they build the cloud for coding agents. Read more on the Greylock blog and in TechCrunch.

We're launching @niteshiftdev – the full-stack cloud for coding agents Verification is the new bottleneck. Software teams can now define their dev environment and verification tools once. Then run any frontier agent in the cloud: Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode

@chandna Full list: forbes.com/lists/midas/

Congratulations to @chandna on his 10th appearance on the Forbes Midas List. 🎉 For over two decades, Asheem has embodied what Greylock aims to do at its best: be the first believer in exceptional founders, and work tirelessly through the ups and downs to help them build companies that matter. The greatest privilege in this work is earning the right to be a founder's thought partner. We are grateful for the entrepreneurs and teams who have placed that trust in Asheem and everyone at Greylock. Congratulations, Asheem!

Congrats, @CorinneMRiley, on making the Forbes Midas Brink list, a recognition for the next generation of investors poised to shape venture. We want the world to know what we see every day: Corinne brings relentless support to every founder, rolling up her sleeves on whatever the company needs, big or small. She backed @baseten, @usebraintrust, @resolveai, @cogent_security, @FableSecurity, and @altaratech before the rest of the world caught on. She has also built platforms that serve founders well beyond her own portfolio, from Greylock Edge to the Scouts program to Greylock Change Agents. Her energy is unmatched. None of this happens without the founders who trusted us as their first believers. They are the reason this recognition exists, and we are deeply grateful. So proud of you, Corinne.

One common theme: AI agents went from nice-to-have to must-have. The buyers who were figuring it out are now actively buying. The security companies that get this are building headless, API-first. That is a different product instinct entirely, and most incumbents do not have it yet.

"The attacker, the target, and the buyer have all changed. Security thinking has not caught up." Earlier this week, Greylock and @mantisVC brought together CISOs and security founders for a conversation moderated by @AlextPallNY (The Chainsmokers & Mantis VC founder). On the panel: Bruno Kurtic (@BedrockDataAI ), Nicole Jiang-Gibson (@FableSecurity ), and David Tsao (@NotionHQ). Three things stood out.

@mantisVC 3) The buyer: The most sophisticated buyers have stopped touching UI. With MCP crossing 97 million monthly SDK downloads and over 10,000 production servers, API-first infrastructure is no longer an edge case.
