    If you’re familiar with Silicon Valley and the startup world, there’s one name that you’ll hear over and over again: Sequoia Capital. On the surface, they’re just another VC firm, but behind the scenes, they were the architects of Silicon Valley having been in business since the early 1970s. In fact, they’ve funded everyone from Apple and Atari to Stripe, Zoom, and Doordash, and much of the firm’s success can be attributed to the brilliant principles of Don Valentine. One of his top principles is to hire an expert to do a job instead of trying to do it themselves. This is the primary reason that Sequoia has been able to survive for so many decades. They’re constantly hiring younger talent to identify the next generation of companies, so they’re always investing in the right places. They’ve also got experts around the world who specialize in identifying investment opportunities in China and India. This video explains the history of Sequoia Capital and how it became the most well-known VC firm in the world.

  • @SuperFlashDriver
    @SuperFlashDriver ปีที่แล้ว +29

    It's interesting to see Don's philosophy in a way that makes me wonder if it can be implemented into other VC ventures instead of the VC themselves doing it their own traditional ways. The idea of passing the torch to their employees, much like instructing the new generation what to go off of is something I would do the same in my own film company, to lay the ground work for what could possibly happen in the late 21st century into the 2100s and 2200s, even if some of us from the 20th century have long passed on by the time the 21st century comes to an end.
    I had no idea that this company was the one that pretty much funded multitude of companies both worldwide and national, and now I know thanks to this video.

    • @lucaskp16
      @lucaskp16 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      they are not worth $5 trillion. though the title is not click bait. what he means is that the sum of all the companies they invested in early on are now worth over 5 trillion which is common for investment firms to brag about. the firm itself only has $28b in assets under managment. this come from examples like investing 60m in whatsapp and getting 3b when facebook bought it.
      also note that VC firms gamble on new companies. and are quite different from institutional investors that mostly invest in well established companies like Blackrock with 10 trillion USD in AUM in 2021. also a lot of VC firms gamble their own money while the big funds gamble money from lots and lots of people

      totally different fields. Blackrock is risk managment company. they take other people money and try their best to keep it from getting nuke by crashes. a wealth preserver.
      VCs are the biggest risk takers in investing. they hope the money they give you is going to be worth x100 or go up in smoke.
      when a recession comes and most tech startup fail VCs take a big hit. while Blackrock customers can be happy they lost less money that the rest of people.
