Sequoia China

Sequoia helps daring founders build legendary companies from idea to IPO and beyond. We aim to be the first true believers in tomorrow’s most valuable and enduring businesses. We partner with a few outliers each year and go all-in, providing them with the hands-on help required at every stage of the company building journey. Our expertise comes from 50 years of working with legendary founders like Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Jan Koum, Adi Tatarko, Brian Chesky, Jensen Huang, Anne Wojcicki, Eric Yuan, Patrick Collison, Julia Hartz, and Sebastian Siemiatkowski. In aggregate, Sequoia-backed companies account for more than 25% of NASDAQ's total value. Since our inception, the vast majority of the money we invest has been on behalf of nonprofits and schools like the Ford Foundation, Mayo Clinic and MIT, which means most of the returns we generate benefit these great causes.

The vast majority of business processes are “multiplayer” by their nature—but they’ve been artificially constrained into sequential, asynchronous workflows that can take weeks to complete. Enter PartyKit, Inc., a platform for real-time, human-to-human and human-to-AI collaboration that integrates into any app with just a few lines of code.

We at Sequoia are proud to support Sunil Pai and his team as they announce the general availability of PartyKit and work to make multiplayer experiences the norm.

Welcome to 'Act 2' of Generative AI, where the focus is on solving human problems end-to-end and applications are more comprehensive and often multi-modal.
