Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShreya Shekhar is a partner at Greylock Partners with nine years of experience investing in and building early-stage companies across AI, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and developer tools. She combines a strong technical foundation—evident from her CS PhD studies at UC Berkeley and hands-on contributions to ML and demo tooling like cleverhans and a GPT-3 sandbox—with product and founding experience from Bedrock Security and Good Neighbor. Her background spans research-grade ML engineering (optimizing adversarial robustness libraries and eigenvalue solvers) to full-stack product work, giving her a rare ability to evaluate both model-level research and shipping product APIs. She has interned at leading companies including Facebook, Rockset, and Glean, and led campus programs that nurtured startups and developer communities. Known for bridging deep technical rigor with founder empathy, she often spots opportunities where security and AI intersect. Based in Berkeley, she blends academic research instincts with practical startup operating experience to back teams that can move fast and build responsibly.
