Seasoned operator-turned-investor at Sequoia who partners with founders from idea to IPO and beyond. He distills hard-won company-building lessons into crisp playbooks and conviction-driven advice. A trusted guide for founders who want practical frameworks and the confidence to move early.
You tell founders to 'lean into the unknown', while quietly running scenario analyses in a spreadsheet titled 'Embracing Uncertainty v3.' Courage, yes. Also: please stop version-controlling your optimism.
Playing a pivotal role in backing and scaling iconic companies (Airbnb, DoorDash, Zipline, etc.), helping them grow from early-stage ideas into category-defining outcomes.
To shorten the path from idea to enduring company by teaching founders how to spot weak signals, build outlier teams, and iterate towards sustainable competitive advantage, turning conviction and craft into scalable impact.
Optimism with discipline: take intelligent, asymmetric risks; back outlier founders who see possibilities others miss; prioritize iteration, compounding growth, and repeatable frameworks; mentorship and rigorous feedback turn builders into enduring leaders.
Deep operator + investor experience, exceptional pattern recognition for early signals, a large credible network, and the ability to convert tacit knowledge into clear, repeatable frameworks that founders can apply.
Can be perceived as formulaic when complex nuance is compressed into short posts; limited time means not every founder gets hands-on attention; brevity on X sometimes flattens trade-offs into slogans.
Turn your frameworks into regular X assets: a weekly 'Playbook Thread' series with short case studies and one visual per thread; pin a canonical thread; host monthly Spaces with founders who used your playbooks; reply to founder threads with micro-advice to increase discoverability; post behind-the-scenes postmortems and failure lessons to boost relatability; repurpose threads into newsletter posts and LinkedIn to funnel new followers back to X.
Partner at Sequoia with ~71,085 followers; tweets practical company-building playbooks (started widely sharing frameworks about 18 months ago); has worked with companies like Airbnb, DoorDash, Zipline and more.
I am deeply honored, humbled, and will have big shoes to fill. @roelofbotha changed my life.
He believed in me, brought me to Sequoia, and taught me how to grow from a builder into an investor.
Heâs demanding and deeply caring â the rare kind of friend, mentor, partner who pushes you and stands with you through every storm.
In the last two weeks, I've been ruminating on this post from @sama.
It's a simple observation, but one that cuts to the heart of entrepreneurship and venture capital.
While most of the world minimizes risk, every great enterprise exists because someone once chose to make a deliberate, calculated leap into uncertainty. At its core, venture capital is the business of taking intelligent risks alongside outlier founders. We back those who see possibilities where others see problems, and who lean into the unknown with enthusiasm and conviction.
We operate without perfect information. Our advantage lies in interpreting weak signals, forming hypotheses, making judgments, and acting before consensus. By the time data tells a compelling story, the early opportunity has often become obvious and, therefore, often unavailable. The business of venture is about identifying those rare asymmetric opportunities where the upside meaningfully outweighs the downside and having the courage to act before the world agrees.
The willingness to move early and with conviction is what differentiates great investors and attracts exceptional founders. Outlier founders seek partners who not only tolerate uncertainty but also share their optimism for what's possible and work to convert potential energy into progress and impact.
Company building is also an exercise in risk-taking. Every meaningful decision to start, hire, launch, or pivot carries uncertainty. Progress requires courage, and courage often looks like a series of small mistakes on the path to a few transformative wins.
The future belongs to those who see opportunity where others see obstacles, who imagine solutions when others see risk, and who dare to turn that imagination into reality. So what intelligent risks are you taking this week?
Today, we're launching @Sequoia's latest seed and venture funds to partner with outlier founders at the start of their journey.
There's never been a more exciting time to be a founder. Nearly every industry will be disrupted by AI.
So far, the age of AI has brought intelligence and automation to many of our most routine tasks. But what excites me most are the new creative possibilities ahead: innovative business processes, entirely new consumer experiences, and novel ways to play and interact with technology. Iâm looking forward to magical, creative, and truly transformative experiences that weâve never seen before.
History shows us that the biggest technology wavesâinternet, mobile, and cloudâcreated entirely new business models. AI will be no different. The most disruptive business models are still waiting to be unveiled, and we're excited to back the founders who will build them.
Have been wearing my @sequoia luck socks all week. My big boss (wife) suggested that I might want to change them, but my little boss (10 year old) asked why not buy more pairs of them if they are lucky?!?

It has always been Our Sequoia.\n\nIt was never Donâs Sequoia, nor Michaelâs, Dougâs, Jimâs, or Roelofâs. From the very beginningâwhen Don chose to build a partnership and name it after the longest-living tree on EarthâSequoia was meant to endure not through individuals, but through usâthe collective strength, integrity, and vision of the partnership.\n\nAnd just as it was not theirs alone, it will not be Pat and Alfredâs Sequoia. It will always be Our Sequoia.\n\nWe are responsible for something enduringâprivileged to stand on the foundation built by those who came before us, and responsible for making it stronger for those who will come after. Together, we have the opportunity to do our lifeâs work, to make a dent in the universe, to leave our fingerprints on the partnership, and to shape Sequoia into the place we want it to be for the future.\n\nPrinciples guide usâanchored in purpose and mission. Beyond that, we want to trust and empower one another.\n\nOur purpose and mission remain to help the daring build legendary companies.\n\nOur guiding principles are:\n* Founders > LPs > Sequoia > Team > Self\n* Weâre only as good as our next investment\n* Always do the right thingâand do it the right way\n* When we fall short (because we are all human), apologize, fix it, and move on\n* Influence comes from expertise and reason, not from hierarchy or tenure\n\nIf you see something that needs to change, speak up. Lead the change. Sequoia thrives when every voice, every insight, and every act of courage helps us grow stronger together.\n\nSome people have asked if we will continue to make new investments and lead the investment teams. The answer is an unequivocal yes. We will source and lead new investments and will remain co-leads of the Early and Growth teams. Externally, we will all be referred to simply as Partners.

At its core, venture capital is the business of taking intelligent risks alongside outlier founders. We back those who see possibilities where others see problems, and who lean into the unknown with enthusiasm and conviction.\n\nWe operate without perfect information. Our advantage lies in interpreting weak signals, forming hypotheses, making judgments, and acting before consensus. By the time data tells a compelling story, the early opportunity has often become obvious and, therefore, often unavailable. The business of venture is about identifying those rare asymmetric opportunities where the upside meaningfully outweighs the downside and having the courage to act before the world agrees.\n\nThe willingness to move early and with conviction is what differentiates great investors and attracts exceptional founders. Outlier founders seek partners who not only tolerate uncertainty but also share their optimism for what's possible and work to convert potential energy into progress and impact.\n\nCompany building is also an exercise in risk-taking. Every meaningful decision to start, hire, launch, or pivot carries uncertainty. Progress requires courage, and courage often looks like a series of small mistakes on the path to a few transformative wins.\n\nThe future belongs to those who see opportunity where others see obstacles, who imagine solutions when others see risk, and who dare to turn that imagination into reality.
