Greylock Israel Partners

Greylock Partners focuses on partnering with founders at the earliest stages, with over 80% of their investments being the first check into a company at the Pre-Seed, Seed, or Series A stage. They emphasize building partnerships with founders from the very beginning, often even before a formal idea or business plan is fully realized. They are particularly focused on AI-first companies and prioritize selective partnerships, deep engagement, and a commitment to excellence. Greylock's investment approach is centered on identifying opportunities where software can reshape existing industries and create entirely new ones. They achieve this through a deeply focused strategy concentrated on key domains. They provide bespoke support to founders through the Greylock Edge program, a 3-month company-building initiative that helps pre-idea, pre-seed, and seed-stage founders refine their foundational decisions from inception to product-market fit, including flexible financing options. They focus on founders and companies that are disrupting or creating markets. The firm also demonstrates a long-term perspective, often investing in companies that go on to become industry leaders. They emphasize the importance of a strong partnership between the firm and the founders, aiming to be more than just a source of capital.
