Greylock Partners is one of the oldest venture capital firms in the United States, founded in 1965 in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Bill Elfers and Dan Gregory, with over $3.5 billion in committed capital under management. The firm focuses on early-stage technology companies in sectors such as consumer internet, enterprise software, infrastructure, AI, cybersecurity, and fintech, and has backed market-defining businesses including Airbnb, Facebook, LinkedIn, Workday, Coinbase, Figma, and Palo Alto Networks.
Headquartered in Menlo Park, California, Greylock operates with 30+ employees. Over 80% of the firm's capital is deployed as the first check—pre-seed, seed, or Series A—through their dedicated Greylock Edge program for pre-idea and pre-seed founders. The firm relocated its headquarters from Boston to Silicon Valley in 2009 to be closer to technology innovation hubs.
