Technovation with Peter High (CIO, CTO, CDO, CXO Interviews)

Greylock Partners’ Asheem Chandna on First-Check Investing, Founders, and the Age of AI


Listen Later

Where is software value heading in the age of AI?

In the premiere episode of Technoventure, host Peter High speaks with Asheem Chandna, General Partner at Greylock Partners, one of Silicon Valley’s most storied venture firms. Asheem has led early investments in industry-defining companies such as Palo Alto Networks, AppDynamics, Rubrik, and Abnormal Security.

With over 20 years at Greylock and a background in product management and cybersecurity, Asheem offers a masterclass on how he assesses founders, identifies breakout potential, and mitigates risk—often before a single line of code is written. He also explores the evolving dynamics of enterprise software, the impact of agentic AI, and how cybersecurity must adapt to combat both bad and good AI.

Key themes include:

  • Assessing founders in a world of younger AI entrepreneurs
  • The changing nature of enterprise software and data platforms
  • The immigrant’s mindset and risk tolerance in venture
  • The venture capitalist’s evolving toolkit in the AI era
  • Learn more about Greylock’s AI-native security investments, including Abnormal Security, a leader in protecting enterprises from modern email and collaboration attacks.
