I have become increasingly concerned about the general direction of our country, the state of our broken immigration system, the ballooning deficit, and the foreign policy missteps, among other issues. Therefore, I am supporting former President Trump in this coming election.

1/6 @assaf_rappaport thought I was Don Valentine when we first met. A mistaken encounter turned into a decade-plus relationship with @sequoia leading the earliest rounds in Assaf’s first company, Adallom, and @wiz_io. Today @Google announced its intent to acquire Wiz.

The atrocities on innocent civilians, including young children, of the last few days are unconscionable. Our hearts and our prayers are with Israel. We have no doubt that it will emerge as a stronger nation.

In 2013, @velez_david pitched @sequoia on disrupting Brazil's banks as an industry outsider with no banking or tech experience. Today, @nubank serves 100M+ customers as LatAm's most valuable financial company—proving outsiders with conviction can win big.

Congrats @roelofbotha, what an amazing run! I am proud of your stewardship personally and professionally. I remember when @Alfred_Lin joined Sequoia 15 years ago, and @gradypb all the way back in 2007. They are the perfect pair to steward @sequoia for its next chapter. Let’s go!

1/ Little did we know when we partnered with @ServiceNow how important this small detail in our original investment memo would become. It led to one of the most unique stories of my career and an incredible journey for the ServiceNow team.

The opportunity to partner with a category creator like @island_io from the start is a special one. Congrats the the Island team! Excited to continue @sequoia’s partnership with you all.

Within minutes of meeting @sanazyashar, I wanted to work with her – she is smart, resilient and makes ample use of the word “we.” Sanaz, @BenSeri87, @snir_h and the @Zafran_io team continue to impress us @Sequoia, and we are proud to lead their Series A. forbes.com/sites/thomasbr…

6/6 We @sequoia couldn’t be prouder of @assaf_rappaport and the @wiz_io team. It’s been an honor to be your partner for over a decade. Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey.

4/6 The team strategically leveraged their Israeli time zone, working 9-5 on the product and then working late into the night on sales calls to the U.S. and Europe. @wiz_io reached $100 million in ARR in just 18 months, faster than any software company in history.
