Mayfield Bets on AI’s Earliest Founders  @BloombergTech
Uploaded August 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Mayfield has invested more than $3 billion in AI companies, much of it before founders have built a product or even formed a company. Managing Partner Navin Chaddha joins Bloomberg to discuss why he sees AI as a “100x opportunity,” why venture returns still depend on finding a handful of exceptional founders, and why Mayfield is resisting the industry’s push toward ever-larger funds to stay focused on early-stage investing. He joins Ed Ludlow on "Bloomberg Tech."
