Seed Stage
Sequoia Capital invests between $100K-$1M in start-ups addressing the energy, financial services, healthcare services, internet, mobile, outsourcing services and technology markets. These are situations where we have the privilege of collaborating with very special founders who have a unique insight on the customer problem and a novel idea for addressing that pain point. A seed stage investment often occupies space in our building where a subsistence of ramen, red bull and portable furniture are at the founding team’s disposal. We enjoyed assisting entrepreneurs in this manner such as Gaurav Garg of Redback networks, Jerry Yang and David Filo of Yahoo and Chad Hurley and Steve Chen of YouTube.
