Our Product

We are a founder-first firm. We invest in very few companies, and once we sign a term sheet, our founders become part of the Mayfield family. The journey starts with an engaged board member and is followed by deep partnership with our founder amplification team.

Our Founders Say It Best

The Mayfield Business Development team is a game-changer. They’re not just dealmakers, they’re strategic partners. They understand the bigger picture and how each deal contributes to our long-term vision.”

Rob Bearden, Sema4.ai

Navin, Kamini, and Mayfield at large have been great partners at making us think and play bigger. They also happen to know authentic storytellers who help us simplify, which takes immense energy in platform companies.”

Dheeraj Pandey, DevRev

The Mayfield Business Development team has been our champion, guiding us with expertise and a deep understanding of the enterprise dynamics and the market. They weren’t just there to close the deal; they actively championed our vision to partners, opening doors where we did not even have access.”

Rehan Jalil, Securiti

You can’t just read a bunch of books to learn how to manage people…Mayfield helped recruit key executives such as COO Ted Tisch and CBO Peter Nell and this unique combination of scientist founders and experienced executives working closely together is what makes the Mammoth story possible.”

Trevor Martin, Mammoth BioSciences
