Sequoia Capital invests between $10M-$100M in companies addressing the consumer technology;energy;financial services;healthcare services infrastructure markets. We prefer to be the first business partner in a growth stage company that is profitable and fast growing and where the team and offerings are proven. Growth stage companies have found that we can help them deepen their management teams, bring advisors and directors that are beyond their immediate circle, assist with expansion into distant markets, assist with the assessment of potential acquisitions and prepare for a public offering. We have had the privilege of working with many founders and managers through the growth stage and into the public lives of their companies. A few examples of the founders and managers we have served for years are Frank Alderman at MedExpress, Kevin DeNuccio at Metaswitch, Mark McLaughlin and Nir Zuk at Palo Alto Networks and Frank Slootman and Fred Luddy at ServiceNow.
