6/6 We @sequoia couldn’t be prouder of @assaf_rappaport and the @wiz_io team. It’s been an honor to be your partner for over a decade. Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey.

4/6 The team strategically leveraged their Israeli time zone, working 9-5 on the product and then working late into the night on sales calls to the U.S. and Europe. @wiz_io reached $100 million in ARR in just 18 months, faster than any software company in history.

3/6 Shortly after we partnered with @wiz_io, the team hit on the insight that cloud security needed a simpler, agentless architecture for an increasingly complex digital world. Once the vision for Wiz became clear, there was no stopping them.

2/6 Since partnering in 2013 with @assaf_rappaport for Adallom, we knew he and Yinon Costica, Roy Reznik & @amiluttwak were special. That gave us & @giliraanan the conviction to co-lead @wiz_io’s first investment round when there was no clear idea or product yet.

1/6 @assaf_rappaport thought I was Don Valentine when we first met. A mistaken encounter turned into a decade-plus relationship with @sequoia leading the earliest rounds in Assaf’s first company, Adallom, and @wiz_io. Today @Google announced its intent to acquire Wiz.

Enjoyed chatting with @DerekjAndersen and honored to be the first guest for the new @Divotdotorg interview series.
Today I’m launching a new weekly interview series called Divot (@Divotdotorg), featuring people making a mark on the world. Steve Jobs said, “We're here to put a dent in the universe.” A divot is a symbol of your impact. Episode 1 is with @sequoia's @dougleone. Full episodes will

In 2013, @velez_david pitched @Sequoia on disrupting Brazil's banks as an industry outsider with no banking or tech experience. Today, @Nubank serves 100M+ customers as LatAm's most valuable financial company—proving outsiders with conviction can win big.

1/ Little did we know when we partnered with @ServiceNow how important this small detail in our original investment memo would become. It led to one of the most unique stories of my career and an incredible journey for the ServiceNow team.

Within minutes of meeting @sanazyashar, I wanted to work with her – she is smart, resilient and makes ample use of the word “we.” Sanaz, @BenSeri87, @snir_h and the @Zafran_io team continue to impress us @Sequoia, and we are proud to lead their Series A.
