Not many people can say they helped bend the arc of an entire industry and still made time to prank their colleagues along the way. Nir Zuk managed both—20 years of invention, debate, brilliance, and just enough chaos to keep us all on our toes. Thank you for including us.
This week Palo Alto Networks ($PANW) joined the small, elite club of $100B companies by market cap!. The story here is legendary. At @sequoia we look for founders with chips on their shoulders -- having an almost irrational sense of purpose. Nir "CHKPKLR" Zuk definitely qualified

Sequoia's next generation: the apprentice to mentor harmonic of Valentine's ethos. Although DTV would be disappointed in their golf acumen. @Sequoia @roelofbotha @Alfred_Lin @gradypb @andrew__reed @LucianaLix.

**Incubated @GreylockVC and @sequoia. A powerful example of VC firms teaming (rather than competing). Honored to have been on this journey with @chandna & @GreylockVC.
Palo Alto Networks was incubated in Sequoia's offices starting in 2005. @jimgoetz from @sequoia and @chandna from @GreylockVC as VCs partnered with @nirzuk to incubate the company. Very quickly @rajivbatra joined as a Co-Founder + VP Eng.

Props to the cofounders @nirzuk @rajivbatra and @leeklarich (honorary co-founder). The banter and dynamic tension they started at incubation continues to drive innovation today. And props to the @PaloAltoNtwks leaders: @smullaney @MarkatPANW @nikesharora that led the company's.

a healthy reminder on the origin and harmonics associated with AI.
@Sequoia has partnered with legendary AI founders since @nvidia's seed round in 1993. @kostabuhler joined @technology with @CarolineHydeTV & @EdLudlow to explain how a new generation of AI companies is delivering value by solving real customer problems.
