Lyra Technologies

IDENTITY RESOLUTION PROCESS: This research target, 'Lyra Technologies' (profile_id 10191318), was investigated as a company potentially distinct from 'Lyra Health' (lyrahealth.com), which the task explicitly notes is already fully researched in this database under profile_id 10008019. The research goal was to determine whether 'Lyra Technologies' refers to a genuinely separate Greylock Partners portfolio company, and if so, to document it; if not, to state that transparently.

SEARCH METHODOLOGY AND FINDINGS: Multiple approaches were used: (1) Greylock's official live portfolio page (greylock.com/portfolio/) was fetched and its full company list (180+ logos) reviewed exhaustively -- it contains exactly one entry with 'Lyra' in the name, displayed simply as 'Lyra' (via a Sanity CDN image asset), with no second, separately-labeled 'Lyra Technologies' or 'Lyra Health' entry. This strongly suggests Greylock's site treats its one 'Lyra' investment as a single company. (2) Crunchbase, Owler, and ZoomInfo were queried for 'Lyra Technologies' specifically. Crunchbase and Owler both returned the SAME small, unrelated company: a private web design / application development / digital solutions agency at www.lyratechnologies.com, based in New York, NY, founded around 2017, with fewer than 10 employees, estimated revenue under $1M/year, and a contact phone number with a +91 (India) country code, suggesting an offshore-serviced small agency. Crunchbase explicitly stated no funding rounds or investor information are disclosed for this entity, and its listed 'competitors' (WebFX, CI&T, Thoughtworks) are generic web-dev/digital-agency comparators, not health-tech or venture-scale peers. Owler's data (which is crowdsourced and often unreliable) showed a conflicting/likely-spurious '$19.5M funding' figure and a CEO name ('Koda Mike Wang') that could not be corroborated by any other source -- this data point is treated with high skepticism and was NOT used in the structured fields below. Nothing about this small NYC/India-linked web agency connects it to Greylock Partners, venture capital, or any Greylock portfolio listing on any source checked. (3) Direct searches combining 'Lyra Technologies' and 'Greylock' were attempted via multiple search engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Marginalia); most were blocked by robots.txt restrictions on the fetch tool used in this environment, and the general web-search tool had exhausted its session quota before dedicated queries for this task could run, which somewhat constrains the exhaustiveness of this search relative to the ideal. However, no source located through any working channel (Crunchbase, Owler, ZoomInfo, Greylock's own team/portfolio pages, business press) produced evidence of a distinct, venture-backed 'Lyra Technologies' company tied to Greylock. (4) To test whether 'Lyra Technologies' might be a legal/incorporation name behind the Lyra Health brand, Lyra Health's own Crunchbase profile was checked for 'also known as' names -- none were listed (Crunchbase shows only 'Lyra Health, Inc.' with AKA 'Lyra'). OpenCorporates lookups for 'Lyra Technologies' could not be completed due to tool permission/provenance restrictions in this environment.

CONFIRMING GREYLOCK'S REAL 'LYRA' RELATIONSHIP IS WITH LYRA HEALTH: Independent verification was performed to confirm Greylock Partners' actual investment relationship with Lyra Health (the mental-health benefits company), since this is central to resolving the ambiguity. A TechCrunch article dated May 7, 2018 ('Lyra Health raises $45M to create a smart network for treating mental health problems') states that Lyra Health's $45M Series B included new investors Tenaya Capital, Glynn Capital Partners, Crown Ventures, and Casdin Capital, alongside existing investors 'Greylock Partners, Venrock, and Providence Ventures.' A second TechCrunch article dated December 17, 2020 (on Lyra Health's Series E, raised at a $2.25B valuation) again lists Greylock among the company's past backers, alongside Adams Street Partners, Tenaya Capital, Meritech Capital Partners, and IVP. This is consistent, cross-verified (2-source) confirmation that Greylock Partners has a real, multi-year investment relationship with Lyra Health specifically -- not with any separate 'Lyra Technologies.' Lyra Health, Inc. was co-founded by David Ebersman (former Facebook/Meta CFO, Co-Founder & CEO), Bob Kocher, and Dena Bravata; it is headquartered in Burlingame, CA; and per Crunchbase is a private, Series G-plus company with 1,001-5,000 employees that has since acquired Bend Health and ICAS World.
