Menlo Ventures and Anthropic have picked the first 18 startups for their $100M fund


Just five months after launching a $100 million fund, Menlo Ventures and Anthropic have backed their first 18 startups. And are looking for more.

The fund will write checks of $100,000 or more into startups and provide them with $25,000 worth of credits for Anthropic’s models. “We’re one of the biggest investors in Anthropic and huge fans of what they’re doing,” Menlo Ventures partner Tim Tully told TechCrunch in July when the program launched. “We thought this was an opportunity for us to do something together, where we can see the ecosystem and find great companies that are building on Anthropic or AI more broadly.”
