  3. Menlo Ventures Calls This a 'Rare Land-Grab Moment' in AIMenlo Ventures partner Matt Murphy says the firm is putting $3 billion in fresh capital to work on the belief that AI's current phase is a rare, short-lived land-grab window rather than a normal cycle to wait out.

Its AI agents handle scheduling, intake, referrals, document processing and front-desk support for healthcare providers -- one of the clearest examples of AI moving from chatbot demos to embedded, revenue-bearing clinical workflows.
  8. Menlo Ventures Raises $3B -- Its Largest Fund Ever -- After Its Anthropic Bet Turned Into ~$14BMenlo Ventures closed $3 billion in new capital, the largest fundraise in the firm's 50-year history, on the strength of a 2024 bet on Anthropic that is now worth roughly $14 billion.
