Investment thesis

Mayfield focuses on the emerging "Collaborative Intelligence" era, where humans and AI build the future together. It backs what it calls Agentic Teammates and invests across the AI stack: applications evolving into systems of intelligence and action, middleware and development environments for building and orchestrating AI apps and agents, the data/context layer for safety and quality, specialized AI models spanning language, physical reasoning and scientific and vertical applications, and semiconductors powering real-time, on-device, and edge inference.
