Investment thesis

Menlo Ventures focuses on backing early-stage AI companies at every layer of the modern AI stack. This includes AI-powered end-user applications, developer tools and middleware for building and deploying AI applications, data and infrastructure tools for productionizing large language models (databases, compute, observability), and core foundation models pre-trained on large datasets that serve as the backbone of AI applications. The firm seeks founders who pursue what could be rather than what is, and it also invests at the intersection of AI with healthcare, consumer, cybersecurity, robotics/hardware, and enterprise SaaS.
