About the program

Greylock Edge - From Concept to Company

Edge is a bespoke 3-month company-building program designed to advance select pre-idea, pre-seed and seed founders from inception to product-market fit, with fully flexible financing.

Greylock Edge harnesses our decades of expertise in guiding founders from inception to IPO and beyond. Three-month access to Greylock's resources, AI Researchers in Residence, hiring and customer services. We don't require that Edge companies take capital from Greylock. We provide flexible funding ranging from a priced seed round to an uncapped SAFE note, to no capital at all. Additionally, we offer $500K+ in credits with AWS, Google, Microsoft and more.

Customers and Design Partners

We collaborate on constructing a design partner program, and leverage our network to identify the first five design partners.
