Hoist

Profile (continued)

3. SEC EDGAR: Both the EDGAR full-text search system (efts.sec.gov, covering Form D and other filings) and the EDGAR company name browse endpoint were queried directly for 'Hoistup' and close variants ('Hoist Up'). No company or filing named Hoistup was found. This means either no Form D has been filed under this exact name, or the company has not raised a round requiring Form D disclosure (e.g., still bootstrapped, unincorporated, or filed under a different legal entity name).

4. Greylock Partners' own site (greylock.com): The main portfolio page (/portfolio) and all six portfolio category subpages (/portfolio/applications, /consumer, /cybersecurity, /deep-tech, /fintech, /infrastructure) were fetched and their embedded company-logo alt-text was extracted programmatically, yielding roughly 160 distinct portfolio company names (e.g., Airbnb, Discord, Figma, LinkedIn, Anthropic, OpenAI, Coinbase, Wiz, Rubrik, etc.). 'Hoistup' does not appear in this list under any capitalization or spacing variant. This portfolio listing, however, is very unlikely to be Greylock's complete historical portfolio (which spans hundreds of investments over decades) and may omit newer, smaller, or stealth-mode investments, so this is suggestive but not conclusive evidence against a Greylock relationship.

5. Wayback Machine / Internet Archive: Multiple attempts to query web.archive.org (both the CDX API and direct snapshot URLs) failed at the network/proxy level (TLS connection resets / CONNECT tunnel failures), so no historical snapshots of hoistup.com could be checked for earlier versions of the site that might have been indexable or less protected.

Conclusion: No corroborated public information — company description, founders, funding history, team, or a confirmed Greylock investment relationship — could be established for 'Hoistup' through any of the channels available in this research session. Given the instruction to avoid guessing or fabricating facts, the company record is marked status='unknown' and all uncertain fields are left null. The only facts that could be verified with reasonable confidence are: (a) the domain hoistup.com is registered and currently has an active, recently-renewed TLS certificate, indicating it is a live web property as of August 2026; and (b) the site aggressively blocks automated/bot traffic on every path, which is consistent with, but not proof of, an early-stage or stealth-mode startup. No Greylock investment in a company called Hoistup could be confirmed via Greylock's own portfolio pages or via SEC filings.
