Sequoia Capital Restructures Operations, Raises $10 Billion, Closes London Office
Sequoia Capital has restructured its global operations, merging early- and growth-stage investment teams to streamline support for startups. The firm closed its London office, continuing to back European founders from its San Francisco Bay Area base. It also discontinued its Arc accelerator and Scouts programs. These changes follow a leadership transition and aim to focus on selective, high-conviction venture capital investing. Sequoia raised approximately USD 10 billion in new funds and adjusted its partnership structure to enhance founder engagement.
