Sequoia Capital, a renowned venture capital firm, has named Alfred Lin and Pat Grady as its new co-stewards, succeeding Roelof Botha, who stepped down after over three years at the helm. Lin, known for investments in companies like Airbnb and DoorDash, joined Sequoia in 2010, while Grady, backing firms such as ServiceNow and OpenAI, has been a partner for nearly two decades.
Botha’s tenure saw significant financial distributions to limited partners, managing operations during market downturns and portfolio challenges. Sequoia faced regulatory pressures, leading to the spin-off of Indian and Chinese operations into separate entities. Recent changes, including partner transitions and subsequent resignations, have been the subject of online discussions.
