Sequoia Capital
Sequoia Capital already invested in Apple, which was a tiny company in 1975, and subsequently invested in Oracle, Cisco, Electronic Arts (EA), Google, and YouTube, among others, which would later become leading IT companies. The combined market capitalization of the companies Sequoia Capital invested in amounts to as much as 22% of the U.S. NASDAQ. Especially considering that Sequoia focused primarily on early-stage investments (Series A), one can imagine how great its achievements were.
Investment Principles
One of Silicon Valley's investment principles is that even if you invest in 99 projects and fail, you only need to succeed with one good one. The reason is that the company becomes the world's No. 1 in its field and generates unrivaled profits. Therefore, at the mere spark of an idea, they not only make the investment, but also provide powerful lawyers and accountants to help establish and run the company.
