We are thrilled to share that Glenn Kelman has joined Greylock as an Executive in Residence.
Glenn is an exceptional operator and company builder with nearly three decades of experience building, scaling, and leading technology companies through IPOs and beyond. At Greylock, he’ll work directly with founders on leadership development, company building, go to market, and the hard parts of scaling that don’t fit neatly into a board deck.
Glenn co-founded Plumtree Software in 1997, building the company through its 2002 IPO. He then served as CEO of Redfin for nearly two decades, transforming it into the leading technology-powered real estate brokerage and saving consumers over $1 billion in fees. Redfin went public in 2017 and was acquired by Rocket Companies for nearly $2 billion in July 2025.
Glenn’s relationship with Greylock runs deep. Greylock partner James Slavet was an early investor and board member at Redfin and played a formative role in Glenn’s development as a leader. That relationship reinforced the trust and partnership that define the best founder-CEOs.
That experience is at the heart of what Glenn brings to Greylock. We know from working as go-to partners to entrepreneurs that building a great product is only part of the journey. The personal growth required to lead a company through every stage of scaling matters just as much. Glenn’s combination of operational depth, intellectual honesty, and genuine care for the people around him will be invaluable to our founders and teams.
Please join us in welcoming Glenn. You can reach him by email, or connect with him on LinkedIn.
