Sequoia helps daring founders build legendary companies from idea to IPO and beyond. We aim to be the first true believers in tomorrow’s most consequential companies. We partner with a few outliers each year and go all-in, providing them with the hands-on help required at every stage of the company building journey. Our expertise comes from nearly 50 years of working with legendary founders like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Larry Page, Jan Koum, Brian Chesky, Tony Xu, Lin Qiao, Eric Yuan, Christina Cacioppo, and Patrick Collison. In aggregate, Sequoia-backed companies account for more than 30% of NASDAQ's total value.
