Sequoia Capital has unveiled a US$750 million Series A fund and a US$200 million seed fund, its sixth dedicated seed vehicle, to support early-stage innovation in emerging tech sectors.
The new funds extend Sequoia’s focus on partnering with founders at the start of their journeys.
The firm plans to invest in startups advancing AI, infrastructure, security, and other emerging technologies including healthcare, robotics, and digital commerce.
Sequoia said AI is driving a platform shift comparable to the rise of the internet, creating opportunities for founders who can turn new technologies into scalable businesses.
Partners at the firm highlighted progress in video and image models, developer infrastructure, and AI applications across healthcare, e-commerce, and finance.
They also noted emerging opportunities in network security, silicon photonics, and physical AI, as well as in automating services through AI co-pilots and forward-deployed engineering.
Josephine Chen, Partner at Sequoia Capital, said,
““We’re about to see a new world of consumer apps. Anytime there’s a platform shift, it opens up new dimensions in how people live.
Stablecoins will change how consumers interact with financial services.”
George Robson, Partner at Sequoia Capital, added,
“I see a lot of potential in providing digital asset solutions to regulated financial institutions.
Cryptocurrencies have existed at the periphery of financial services for a long time, but new regulations in the US and Europe mean that financial institutions can start to buy these products and sell them to their customers.”
Sequoia added that it remains active in Europe and Israel, citing a strong base of product and engineering talent and a new generation of globally minded founders.
The firm said both funds aim to back early-stage teams building technologies with long-term impact as industries continue to transform under the influence of AI and new computing models.
