"The best opportunities are often ones where you’re being smartly contrarian."

David Sze
"The entrepreneurial journey starts with jumping off a cliff and assembling an airplane on the way down."

Reid Hoffman
"Dare to be great. The advantages of the incumbent in the marketplace are too great to be only marginally better as the startup. The really great new company successes offer transformational ways of doing things."

Henry McCance
"The best entrepreneurs I've worked with live by this credo: Make the world you want."

John Lilly
"For entrepreneurs, time is critical. In the consumer Internet, if you aren't embarassed by the first release of your product, you have wasted too much time on it.”

Seed

Greylock Discovery Fund enables entrepreneurs to raise initial capital in a short amount of time while gaining access to the resources of the Greylock partnership. Modeled after Reid Hoffman’s angel investments, we partner with quality angel investors and micro VC’s to build a network of help for young companies. Discovery seed investments can be as small as $50k and as large as $500k. Greylock Discovery companies include Artfinder, CloudTP, Gigwalk, Impermium, Liquidspace, MassiveHealth and Qwiki.

Early

With our early stage investments, we look to partner with standout entrepreneurs building innovative businesses. This includes passionate founders who have little more than a few presentation slides as well as those who have demonstrated some market traction. These investments are typically in the $1 million-to-$10 million range. We have supported founders from the early stages at companies such as Data Domain (EMC), Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD), Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW) and Workday (NYSE: WDAY).

Growth

Greylock Growth is targeted at breakout enterprise and consumer software companies that we believe can continue to scale. We invest tens of millions of dollars at a time in each investment from Greylock Growth.
