Menlo Ventures announced its largest-ever fundraise of $3 billion, driven mainly by its significant investment in AI startup Anthropic, now valued at around $14 billion. The firm made a bold $750 million bet in Anthropic's 2024 Series D round, which quadrupled the startup's valuation to $18.4 billion.

This move has solidified Menlo's reputation as a leading AI investor with a broad portfolio of promising AI companies.
