Founded in 1972 by Don Valentine, Sequoia Capital is one of the most iconic and successful venture capital firms in the world. Headquartered in Menlo Park, California, Sequoia specializes in seed stage, early stage, and growth stage investments in private technology companies that are shaping the future.
Sequoia invests across AI & machine learning, enterprise software, consumer technology, fintech & financial services, healthcare & life sciences, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and crypto & web3. Their philosophy: partner with daring founders from the very earliest days and stay with them through IPO and beyond — providing hands-on support, deep expertise, and an unmatched global network.
With portfolio companies including Apple, Google, YouTube, Airbnb, Stripe, WhatsApp, Zoom, Instagram, PayPal, NVIDIA, and many more, Sequoia has helped define the modern technology landscape. In 2021, Sequoia restructured into an open-ended fund — enabling them to support companies far beyond the traditional VC cycle.
"The creative spirits, the dedicated problem solvers, and the fighters — we love partnering with the sort of people who would be building their companies even if they were never going to make a dime."
