@carl_eschenbach@sequoia@gradypb@Alfred_Lin Happy Carl Day, friends at Sequoia! I for one came to work today with an extra pep in my step knowing that Carl is back in the building.
Thank you @roelofbotha for recognizing the contributions of our operational teams and ensuring we strive for the highest standards of excellence. It’s been a privilege.
Sequoia has been in business since 1972. The world today is very different to 50 years ago.
Each decade or so there’s a major technical shift that underpins the next wave. The microprocessor, the internet, cloud, mobile, AI.
But some things at Sequoia are the same since Day 1
1. We’re maniacally focused on finding outlier founders.
2. Exceptional founders come in many different forms.
3. There is no one path to Sequoia. There are many.
It was an angel investor that introduced us to @Google. We met the @linear team through a tweet. @ServiceNow we found through cold outreach.
Now there’s a new pathway to Sequoia - Arc. Our bi-annual call for pre-seed and seed stage founders, whoever you may be, whether you already know us or not. We want to hear your story.
We met exceptional teams like @traversal_ai, @ListenLabs, @AnteriorAI and many others through Arc.
We hope you’re next. Deadline this Sunday. https://t.co/5DWiRGXe0T
Three and a half years in to the third wave of the AI revolution and the energy is higher than ever. Amazing community, technology, and vision for what’s next.
Had a great talk with @itsdanieldart about creating meaningful experiences (and life!) 🌟 You can listen here:

My dear friend and incredible colleague sharing her brutal journey…cannot wait to celebrate the arrival of this sweet baby. Love to all going through difficult times like Natalie did and may you find solace in her story and have a happy ending of your own. 🩷
After four years on the IVF journey, we’re thrilled to share that we are finally expecting a baby girl in February via surrogacy. While no two journeys are the same, I want to share what @KyleB and I endured to arrive where we are today. 1/

The same people who said women were hysterical for warning that Roe v. Wade could be overturned are the same people now saying we're being alarmist about a Trump-enacted national abortion ban.
Applications for @Sequoia Arc are now open for founders in the Americas and Europe.

.@CecileRichards is still fighting for reproductive rights while living with brain cancer, so the rest of us don’t have much excuse to let up.
Thank you, Cecile, and onward. https://t.co/B3JS07rMWr
From a single product to a suite of financial tools, @Blocks growth strategy is a lesson in innovation and embracing principled risks.
