Sequoia Capital

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sequoia Capital is a venture capital firm founded by Don Valentine in 1972. The firm's partners include Don Valentine, Pierre Lamond, Michael Moritz, Doug Leone, Roelof Botha, and Mark Kvamme.

Sequoia provided venture capital for Google, Aricent, Yahoo!, Paypal, Electronic Arts, YouTube, Ometric, Insider Pages, Meebo and was one of the first investors in Cisco Systems, Oracle and Apple. Around 10% of the value of NASDAQ is made up of firms funded by Sequoia.[1]

Sequoia profited well when Google agreed to buy YouTube for $1.65B. It is believed that Sequoia's $11M investment translated to 30% of the ownership.
