Anthropic x Menlo Ventures Anthology Fund
The Anthology Fund, launched by Anthropic and Menlo Ventures, is a $100M initiative to accelerate AI-native startups building transformative applications with Claude, emphasizing speed, technical innovation, and founder-led momentum.
The Anthology Fund puts $100 million behind the next generation of AI builders. Created by Menlo Ventures and Anthropic, this isn't just another venture fund—it's a bet on AI startups that can reshape entire industries.
The fund backs companies at every early stage: pre-seed, seed, and Series A, with investments starting at $100,000. What makes this special? Every portfolio company gets $25,000 in free Anthropic credits, direct access to cutting-edge AI models, and quarterly deep dives with both Menlo and Anthropic leadership teams.
The focus is laser-sharp: AI infrastructure that actually works, frontier applications nobody else is building, consumer AI that feels magical, and trust and safety tools the industry desperately needs. They're looking for technical founders building societal benefits, not just the next chatbot wrapper.
