Founded in 1972 by Don Valentine, Sequoia Capital is one of the most well-known and successful venture capital firms in the world. Its mission is to help daring founders build legendary companies, from the initial idea through to IPO and beyond. For decades, Sequoia has backed iconic companies such as Apple, Google, Oracle, NVIDIA, Airbnb, Stripe, and WhatsApp. The firm provides capital, strategic guidance, and access to a vast network to support its portfolio companies. In 2023, Sequoia announced a significant restructuring, splitting its U.S./Europe, China, and India/Southeast Asia operations into separate, independent firms, with the U.S. and Europe business continuing as Sequoia Capital.
