Investment thesis
Greylock positions itself as an early-stage venture partner, describing itself as the first believer in ideas that don't yet exist. The firm emphasizes deep, high-conviction engagement: each partner makes only one or two new investments per year so they can devote full attention, network, and resources to each company. The approach is illustrated by partnering with founders very early, such as backing Figma when it was a seven-person team led by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace.
