Sequoia Arc is an intensive company building program for Sequoia Capital's pre-seed and seed stage founders. Unlike open-application residencies, Arc is available to founders who have already received Sequoia investment.
The program provides deep operational support — helping founders with product strategy, go-to-market, hiring, and fundraising. Arc leverages Sequoia's decades of experience backing companies from seed to IPO.
Sequoia's operational playbook and network are among the deepest in Silicon Valley.
Sequoia-backed founders at pre-seed or seed stage. Not open to external applications — you must be a Sequoia portfolio company.
