Summary

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.

Program Edge

Sequoia's operational playbook and network are among the deepest in Silicon Valley.

  • Access to Sequoia's full portfolio network
  • Deep operational support (product, GTM, hiring)
  • Decades of pattern recognition from seed to IPO
  • Global reach across US, India, Southeast Asia

Best Fit

Sequoia-backed founders at pre-seed or seed stage. Not open to external applications — you must be a Sequoia portfolio company.
