Watch our exclusive interview with Seth Rosenberg, General Partner at Greylock.
Seth took us through his incredible journey—from his early days as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, to becoming a Product Manager at Facebook, and eventually transitioning into venture capital. At Greylock, he has advised and backed startups that are revolutionizing our world, including Roblox, Lightfield (formerly tome), Pine , PayJoy, and many other successful companies.
As an early-stage investor with a focus on #fintech and #AI, we began by discussing his #investment philosophy—what he looks for in entrepreneurs, and any red flags or deal breakers. He shared real examples of his hands-on approach, including how he supported the founder of Lightfield in launching their platform for dynamic, visual #storytelling. The result was impressive: Lightfield crossed 20 million organic users within the first 12 months.
We also talked about what sets Greylock apart as one of the most legendary venture capital firms, having invested in iconic companies like Meta, Airbnb, Palo Alto Networks, Workday, and LinkedIn.
