Sequoia unveiled $950 million across new seed and Series A funds, signaling renewed emphasis on emerging AI, fintech, and cybersecurity startups amid cooling valuations.
To deepen its early-stage presence, Sequoia Capital announced two new investment vehicles totaling $950 million — a $750 million Series A fund and a $200 million seed fund. The firm will focus on startups building in AI, cybersecurity, and fintech, aiming to support founders at formative growth stages. This represents Sequoia’s largest early-stage commitment since 2021. Market analysts said the timing reflects cooling valuations and a shift toward sustainable innovation, as competition from rivals like a16z and Accel continues to intensify.
