We are entering a new era of hardware engineering defined by faster cycles, continuous iteration, and rapid production - but there isn't a modern, hardware-specific tech stack for it. @CameronLMcCord, @jrshoch, @brycestrauss and @Nominal_io are changing that and building a…
Doctors are using @EvidenceOpen millions of times every month to make better decisions at the point of care. This may be the fastest any technology product (outside of the iPhone) has been embraced by the healthcare industry... and this is only the beginning.…
We love all of Europe’s tech hubs, but Paris definitely has a certain je ne sais quoi. So many ambitious founders and interesting companies. We will be back soon! @sequoia @mcmiller00 @biad_anas
Introducing the @sequoia Gen AI Market Map!🌎 We’ve decided to map out this emerging frontier, thanks to all the contributions and feedback we’ve received. This space is moving quickly – this map is a living document, so keep the suggestions coming! Who else should we include?
We are entering a new era of human-machine co-creation. If we allow ourselves to dream, then it’s easy to imagine a future where Generative AI is deeply embedded in how we work, create and play. 👽🤠 Excited to share our musings on the space here: sequoiacap.com/article/genera…
1/4 I remember pulling out my phone to take this picture of @zoink signing our term sheet on the Figma office rooftop, and telling him "trust me, it'll be cool when I tweet it out in a few years". Here goes! Today @figma announced it will be acquired for ~$20B by @adobe.
I had a wonderful conversation with @tferriss about growing up in South Africa, my path to entrepreneurship, and the @Sequoia approach to thinking long-term and building enduring companies. Listen here: tim.blog/2022/08/31/roe…

2021 was a banner year for crypto. Millions of new users jumped in. But, we still have billions to go. To that end, we wanted to share a piece we wrote earlier this year that gives a broad overview of why crypto/web3 is happening & why it matters👩🚀sequoiacap.com/article/ask-no…
We’re trying an experiment today: auctioning our 2005 YouTube memo as an NFT. Anyone can bid from now through 12/7, and proceeds will benefit @0xPARC’s public ecosystem fund. The winner will have 100% ownership. opensea.io/collection/seq…
Patience is a virtue. We believe it’s also smart business. The traditional 10-year VC fund cycle no longer makes sense for today’s world, or tomorrow’s founders. Introducing The Sequoia Fund. seq.vc/sequoia_fund (1/2)
