Everything Menlo Anthology Fund funds →Details
Menlo invests from a $100 million fund created with Anthropic. Investments start at $100,000 and can be made as lead or participating investments from pre-seed through Series A, with later expansion investments also in scope. Selected companies receive Anthropic model access, technical guidance, quarterly sessions, biannual demo days, partner credits and workspace access. Menlo's current FAQ lists $30,000 in Anthropic credits, while older copy on the same page and Anthropic's launch announcement list $25,000. This is a venture investment with company-specific equity terms, not a no-equity credit grant.
