Our perspective
AI represents the next critical inflection point—not merely an incremental improvement, but a fundamental transformation—of the cybersecurity landscape.
Today we’re excited to announce Menlo Ventures and the Anthology Fund’s investment in Graphite, an AI code review platform that helps engineering teams ship quality code faster.
At Menlo Ventures, we are deeply committed to supporting the world’s most transformative AI companies.
While organizations fortify human accounts with multi-factor authentication and security training, a far larger army of digital workers operates in the shadows.
ConverzAI accelerates staffing agencies’ time-to-fill by automating the entire staffing process, from source to placement, with their AI recruiter.
Menlo Ventures is thrilled to partner with Semgrep in their mission to make security accessible and effective for all developers.
When we launched the $100 million Anthology Fund in July with our partners at Anthropic, we set out to support cutting-edge AI startups pushing the boundaries of innovation.
Astrix is tackling the challenge of securing non-human identities head-on by addressing the full lifecycle of NHIs, ensuring that enterprises can automate confidently and securely.
At AWS re:Invent, we teamed up with our friends at Anthropic and AWS to host an unforgettable event for founders and innovators from across the tech ecosystem.
The enterprise AI landscape is being rewritten in real time. As pilots give way to production, we surveyed 600 U.S. enterprise IT decision-makers to reveal the emerging winners and losers.
At Menlo Ventures, we remain excited about the future of cybersecurity, particularly companies leading with AI innovation.
Numeric is the first company succeeding in building the financial graph that unifies disparate data silos, workflows, and subledgers.
Since announcing the Anthology Fund, we’ve received thousands of applications from pioneering founders. Here’s what we discovered about the next wave of AI-powered companies.
The battle for AI talent continues to heat up: Top AI/ML scientists and researchers are now commanding staggering compensation packages that far exceed those of traditional technical roles like software engineers.
With new building blocks like multi-step logic, external memory, and access to third-party tools and APIs, the next wave of agents is expanding the frontier of AI capabilities to enable end-to-end process automation.
Unlike previous generations of software that primarily addressed low-level, sequential tasks that could be robotically executed, new cognitive architectures enable AI agents to dynamically automate end-to-end processes.
