This 2007 memo imagined the potential for Natera (then called GSN), starting with the IVF category. Almost 18 years later, they’ve achieved what they set out to, innovating to improve health outcomes across prenatal care, oncology and organ transplants. When your scale of ambition is vast, the path to realizing your vision is often circuitous. It’s been inspiring to partner with Matthew Rabinowitz, Steve Chapman and the team as they’ve overcome obstacles and advanced the bioinformatics field to improve health for millions.

A devastating family loss sent Matthew Rabinowitz on a mission to transform prenatal health, though he had no background in biology. Follow Natera's journey from startup to biotech leader, as they defied skeptics to revolutionize prenatal screening, oncology and more. ?? ??

Was grateful (if mildly terrified) to have the opportunity to speak at Slush yesterday about the Arc Product Market Fit framework with my partner in crime Zefi H.. It was energizing to see what resonated with founders in real-time, from phone cameras snapping to great questions at the Q&A. Thank you Slush for having us!

?? Announcing Rox: The First AI Agent Swarm for Elite Enterprise Sales Teams We're thrilled to announce the public launch of Rox, where our AI Agent Swarms are already helping top sales teams grow their books by 30%+. The 2025 challenge is clear: enterprises need to hit aggressive revenue targets without expanding headcount. But most AI solutions miss a crucial point - sales follows a power law, with the top 15% of reps driving 90% of revenue. These elite performers don't need replacement; they need superpowers. Here's how Rox's Agent Swarm transforms how top performers work: ?? 24/7 Pipeline Intelligence ? Continuous analysis of your entire book ? Smart account segmentation by buying potential ? Real-time competitive intelligence ?? Automated Strategic Research ? Stakeholder mapping & org chart analysis ? Tech stack & spend pattern tracking ? Auto-populated account dossiers ?? Meeting Excellence ? AI-powered briefings? ? Relationship dynamics mapping ? Interactive audio briefings ? Always-On Account Monitoring ? Leadership changes & restructuring alerts ? Funding rounds & market movements ? Competitive intelligence updates The results speak for themselves: Over 35 elite enterprise sales teams have already adopted Rox organically. At Ramp, their Enterprise AE team alone recovered 225+ hours per week for high-value selling activities. Rox is now available in public beta. No barriers. No forced demo calls.

Last week Decart introduced Oasis, the world's first interactive real-time video model – a video game entirely generated by AI – and went instantly viral. But if you ask founder Dean Leitersdorf that’s not what’s interesting. Oasis is just the first step toward the Decart team’s goal of creating a new wave of interactive media experiences that will touch every single person on the planet. Hear more on Dean's vision for a magic mirror and more in this week's must-listen episode of Training Data w/ Shaun Maguire Sequoia Capital.

It’s easy to get hung up on titles, worrying about how a move might look to the outside world or how it could impact your path to ‘the top.’ But in today’s world, success isn’t defined by titles or perceived seniority. What really matters is the compounding effect of your career choices on your learning, growth, and network. Each step should amplify your impact and open new doors. Ultimately, we’re all here to build careers with purpose - impact over status.

Software has been eating the world, and open source is eating software! Two years ago, we created the Sequoia Capital Open Source Fellowship, and today, we are announcing the 2024 fellows: #vLLM and Chatbot Arena! Congratulations and welcome to Zhuohan Li, Woosuk Kwon, and Simon Mo from vLLM, Anastasios Angelopoulos,?Wei-Lin Chiang, and the rest of the Chatbot Arena team!' By some estimates, open source accounts for up to 95% of any codebase, yet how open source maintainers make a living is very much still work in progress. Some open-source projects naturally lead to companies, and @sequoia has had the good fortune to partner with the open-source creators behind Confluent, Temporal Technologies and MongoDB. But not every impactful open source project has an obvious biz model. That's why we created the Sequoia Capital Open Source Fellowship. https://lnkd.in/gnVGuH_F
