Here in the U.S. the finance sector, we’ve seen a boom in consumer financial technology companies that modernize the way people save, spend, and invest. Yet in neighboring Canada, the consumer financial sector continues to largely be dominated by a handful of legacy financial institutions. These institutions haven’t changed much in decades -- they have high costs, opaque fee structures, and have been slow to leverage technology to modernize the way they engage customers. 

Today, we are excited to share our investment in apiiro, which is coming out of stealth and announcing the launch of their Code Risk Platform. apiiro’s platform enables enterprises to accelerate application and infrastructure delivery by automatically remediating risk with every change.

The best measure of any product is change in human behavior. Remotion is the first tool we've seen whose customers say it has changed how they work together while distributed. Remotion-native teams make faster decisions, have fewer scheduled meetings, and feel more connected, creative and focused. It reduces the cost of communication in a team, and increases the likelihood of that communication.

Companies and governments want high quality AI models that are trusted, fair, safe and compliant, and work in the real world. But that is really hard to do if these large organizations don't understand their own AI models. Truera provides the first Model Intelligence platform that enables data scientists and non-data scientists alike to understand exactly why a model makes a prediction.

A company is as good as the people who work there. That’s why companies spend hundreds of billions of dollars every year looking for top talent. Yet many companies are not able to comprehensively track recruiting activities and ROI on time or dollars spent. That’s why Greylock is excited to announce that we led the Series B investment in Gem, an amazing three year-old-company revolutionizing how talent teams source, engage and optimize their recruiting activities across multiple channels.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce our investment in Snorkel AI, which is coming out of stealth and announcing Snorkel Flow, their end-to-end, data-first AI platform.

If you told me five years ago that a 13 year old could be a game developer, I would have been skeptical. If you told me there would be another platform game that would be more popular than Minecraft, I would have been really skeptical.

Becoming a parent is both one of the steepest learning curves and wobbliest balancing acts that most of us encounter. In the past few decades, parents have been left to face that challenge with heavier career responsibilities and less support structure.
