Strategy Overview
The best way to really learn about Greylock Partners is to meet with us, as strong personal relationships are the foundation of all our efforts. In the meantime, here is some key information about our approach, our history, and our funding.

Greylock Partners is a private venture capital firm, founded in 1965, with committed capital of over $2 billion under management. Today, Greylock operates out of offices in the Bay Area, Boston and Israel. For over 43 years we have provided equity capital and support to over 300 growth companies, many of which have gone on to become leaders in their respective industries. Of these companies, over 125 have become publicly held, while over 100 others have merged successfully with other leading companies.

Greylock Partners' role is to support a company's management team in building a world-class enterprise by acting as a responsible and constructive member of the company's Board of Directors. This takes on many shapes and forms but includes working to build a management team, facilitating relationships with other companies, helping to set a company's strategic direction, and raising additional capital both privately and publicly.
