Saturday was my 15 year anniversary @sequoia... one of the things I love about Sequoia is getting to learn new things from amazing people, so here are 15 lessons from 15 people over 15 years... hope you enjoy!

Everything I learned from interviewing @parkerconrad

Enjoy the best experience on X.

Sierra just hit $100M in ARR, just seven quarters since we launched in February 2024. @claybavor and I are very grateful to our customers and proud of the Sierra team, who has redefined the meaning of intensity and craftsmanship. I have never had this much fun in my career.

Today, we present a step-change in robotic AI @sundayrobotics. Introducing ACT-1: A frontier robot foundation model trained on zero robot data. - Ultra long-horizon tasks - Zero-shot generalization - Advanced dexterity 🧵->

I'm so so excited for @sundayrobotics unveiling today! I find it flabbergasting when people don't "see the use case" for consumer robotics. It's because they don't *really* picture them as autonomous -- they picturing a vacuum, not something that unleashes leisure and joy

“Startups are somewhere between completely impossible and very, very, very, very hard.” That's @parkerconrad, CEO of @Rippling, on the first episode of Long Strange Trip. Parker's got one hell of a story. Violently fired by David Sacks from Zenefits. Character assassinated in

Roelof has been one of the most influential people in my life. Grateful to @roelofbotha for believing in and helping me build @Xoom and @Eventbrite. Congratulations on your phenomenal stewardship at Sequoia and to all that’s ahead, my friend.

Was awesome talking to my (deeply admired) friend @RamaswmySridhar about his first 18 months as the CEO of $SNOW, Snowflake intelligence, the future of search, the ads business model, change at scale and how every company is challenged to keep innovating in the age of AI

It is admirable to watch how the changing of the guard works seamlessly at @sequoiacap @jimgoetz did it in 2017 and now @roelofbotha passes it on to the next generation of stewards. Roelof has been consistent about how one of his tasks as the chief Steward was to ensure a

John and I love working with Sequoia. @LucianaLix is a fantastic board member at Stripe. (And before her, @moritzKBE contributed immeasurably to making the company what it is today.) This transition is bittersweet for us: @roelofbotha is a deeply-trusted advisor and mentor,

Congrats @roelofbotha, what an amazing run! I am proud of your stewardship personally and professionally. I remember when @alfred_lin joined Sequoia 15 years ago, and @gradypb all the way back in 2007. They are the perfect pair to steward @sequoia for its next chapter. Let’s go!

Proud to call @roelofbotha one of my most trusted partners. He combines strategic depth, empathy for the CEO seat, and the courage to challenge you when it matters. Whether navigating a business model transition, upgrading the exec team, making critical capital allocation
