Our perspective
Deedy joins us as a principal, focused on early-stage investments in AI/ML, next-generation infrastructure, and enterprise software.
Menlo believes that the new AI and cybersecurity stacks represent the biggest investment opportunities of the decade, and Rama will help us double down on both.
Our rationale for investing in Neon was remarkably clear: Menlo had been on the hunt for a modern OLTP database with separation of storage and compute for quite some time.
Pinecone has raised a $100M Series B led by A16Z—with explosive growth justifying their new $750M valuation.
Software developers spend their days chasing the elusive “flow state:” headphones on, Slack notifications paused, dev environment humming along, context switching to a minimum, and delivering a significant amount of valuable code and/or solving a hard problem.
The long chain of code, library, and package dependencies and third-party tooling employed during the software development lifecycle comprise the modern software supply chain.
In March, we announced our lead investment in the Series A for Pinecone, a semantic search database powered by vector embedding search.
The public cloud markets may have been dreary outside last week, but under the soaring skylight of Moscone Center in San Francisco—host to this year’s RSA Conference, one of the cybersecurity industry’s largest annual gatherings—the convention floor was pulsing with excitement.
Abnormal Security reached a major milestone today: The four-year-old company is now valued at $4 billion after raising $210 million in Series C funding.
RAI has created perhaps one of the most unique and powerful databases in the world.
Every company is a software company. Moreover, every company is now an AI/ML company.
Julia, the “Ju” in Jupyter, is a programming language that will soon be the standard in scientific computing, replacing MatLab and R, but is also popular on the server due to speed, multiple dispatch/type system, as well as a vast set of libraries that aid rapid application development.
As companies go digital, the use of application programming interfaces (APIs) is exploding.
We surveyed 30 CIOs from leading companies across various industries to understand their priorities, where they’re investing in technology and how the pandemic influenced their business for the long term.
Edge Delta is providing a whole new class of product and category—a complementary and incredibly necessary approach to observability—edge observability, a critical component of your new data stack.
It’s with great excitement I announce that I’ve started my journey with Menlo Ventures as a partner focused on early-stage investing in the infrastructure and deep tech sectors.
