about us
Partnership Is Our Purpose
At Menlo Ventures, We Go ALL IN.
This isn’t just a motto, but how we show up everyday for the companies we back, the investors who back us, and each other. When we win, we win as a team.

Focused on the “Three Stages of Early”
We are investors and company builders—we know what it takes to turn a budding idea into a scalable business. Menlo works with early-stage founders to find product-market fit, develop go-to-market strategies, scale their organizations, and support them as they grow.
Inception
Our Menlo Labs team helps founders validate early-stage ideas, de-risk opportunities, and build successful foundations.

Our venture team provides series A and B startups with guidance and hands-on help as they build their teams and products.
Inflection

Our Values Define Us
Our Companies Come First
When we invest, we commit more than just capital. Through the ups and downs, we take the time to understand each company’s unique needs and do whatever we can to help them succeed. We win when they win.
Win as a Team
We’re better together, and that’s how we win. We speak our minds without fear of judgment. We share what we know and ask questions when we don’t. We always have each other’s backs and don’t put up fronts.
Go Deep
When it comes to expertise, we aim for depth over breadth. We continue to grow and learn. We come prepared and ready to dive in. By knowing the ins and outs of an industry, we can cut the small talk and right to what matters—seeing what others don’t, and helping where others won’t.
Embrace the Facts
There is power in truth. We don’t shy away from hard facts, real numbers, or true data. When issues arise, we confront them head on, holding ourselves accountable, even if it’s uncomfortable.
Stay Hungry
No matter how much we’ve achieved in the past, our focus is on the future. We hustle while staying humble— always learning, growing, and bringing our best, each and every day.
Be Bold
As we chart our course to a better future, we aren’t afraid to push boundaries and question the status quo because taking the lead requires courage, action, and ownership.

Our Promise to Founders
When we invest, we’re invested. Genuinely, actively invested. Invested in your success, but also your struggles. Your questions, your concerns, your highs, your lows. We don’t just invest our dollars, we invest our dedication, our drive. Our tested advice and trusted support. That’s because, when we find an idea we believe in, we’re all engaged. When we’re in, we’re ALL IN. Having support from every angle means you can take on any challenge. Go further, go bolder. Not limiting yourself to what is, but courageously pursuing what could be—the game-changing ideas that reinvent life and work. Starting a business isn’t easy. You can’t do it alone. And while anyone can back you, not everyone will have your back.
