What Greenoaks does

Greenoaks is a privately held San Francisco-based investment firm (Greenoaks LLC) founded by Neil Mehta, operating as a global venture capital and growth equity investor in technology companies. The firm deploys capital across stages from seed through growth equity into a concentrated set of verticals — predominantly AI (Anthropic, Sierra, Cyera, WorkOS, Nava, Pax, Mind Robotics, Glow), enterprise software and fintech (Revolut, Brex), biotech and healthcare (NewLimit, Alan, Vetic), and emerging tech such as micromobility (ALSO, a Rivian spin-out) and industrial robotics (Mytra). Geographic footprint spans the United States, Canada, Europe (France, Belgium, Spain), the United Kingdom, Brazil, India, Singapore, and Israel, executed through a compact team of 11–50 employees led by Mehta, managing partner Benny Peretz, director of research Mac Steele, and principal Anlei Tang.

Greenoaks' business model is a standard venture capital structure: it raises capital from limited partners, invests into portfolio companies, and earns revenue through management fees on assets under management plus carried interest on profitable exits — neither figure is publicly disclosed. Pricing is therefore not applicable at the portfolio company level; rather, the firm writes checks ranging from sub-$50M seed rounds (Pax, Nava, Vetic) to multi-billion-dollar growth rounds (Anthropic $65B Series H, Revolut $75B secondary). The firm's go-to-market relies on founder relationships, institutional syndicate partnerships (Sequoia, Founders Fund, Altimeter, Dragoneer, Bessemer, Index, Tiger Global, GV, Coatue), and selective lead positions, with an unusually high frequency of co-lead or lead roles relative to its small headcount.

The firm has no proprietary technology products or disclosed AI/ML capabilities of its own; its platform is investment judgment, capital deployment capacity, and syndicate relationships. Notable infrastructure signals include a recent $10 million endowment gift from founder Neil Mehta to the Harker School for a student venture investment initiative, and reported fundraising activity for a separate $100M–$500M political endowment vehicle pitched to Silicon Valley billionaires, suggesting the firm is evolving beyond a pure fund-management model into adjacent influence and ecosystem-building activities.
