  "account": "Adit Singh, a former partner at Foundation Capital, has transitioned from investing in chip startup Cerebras to joining Mayfield as an infrastructure partner. Foundation Capital held a 7% stake in Cerebras, which now has a valuation of nearly $50 billion. Singh's decision to join Mayfield was largely due to the firm's significant assets under management, enabling it to make seed checks of up to $20 million. Mayfield Managing Partner Navin Chaddha expressed that despite their 15-year relationship and shared board memberships, Singh's decision to join the firm was a culmination of favorable circumstances. Singh, with a background in electrical engineering and chip design, praised Mayfield's semiconductor portfolio, which he believes is the best in the market, citing investments in Upscale AI and Lumilens as evidence.",
  "summary": "At Mayfield, Singh will focus on semiconductor, cybersecurity, and physical AI investments.",
