Sequoia Capital Announces Latest Venture Fund and Sixth Dedicated Seed Fund

Sequoia Capital, the Apple of the Venture Capital World, has announced its latest venture fund and sixth dedicated seed fund.

The firm reflects on a legacy of early partnerships that have grown into iconic companies such as Apple, Nvidia, Stripe, and Wiz, relationships that continue to fuel its belief in the transformative power of early-stage innovation.

As Sequoia sees it, founders today stand at the edge of a generational opportunity. Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries at a scale comparable to the birth of the internet. While cycles of hype and disillusionment are inevitable, the firm believes that the next wave of world-changing companies will emerge from this moment of technological reinvention.

The firm is seeking founders from all backgrounds who see possibilities where others see limits. Across Sequoia’s global Early team, partners highlighted a range of emerging themes: the rise of next-gen consumer and video applications (Lauren Reeder), innovation in security, observability, and data infrastructure (Bogomil Balkansky, Dean Meyer), and new financial and digital asset models (George Robson).

Others pointed to the reinvention of e-commerce and voice AI (Konstantine Buhler), the hardware renaissance and physical AI supercycle (Julien Bek), and Europe’s growing global founder base (Luciana Lixandru). From entertainment and creative tools (Charlie Curnin) to frontier fields like silicon photonics (Shaun Maguire) and AI-driven services (Stephanie Zhan), Sequoia sees AI as the next major platform shift, one that will redefine how people build, work, and play.
