Sequoia Capital is committing $10 billion to a new strategy focused on artificial intelligence and reindustrialization. This investment represents the largest in the firm’s 54-year history. Alfred Lin and Pat Grady are leading this first major capital initiative under their new leadership. The firm raised a separate $7 billion fund in April 2026.
The strategy pairs AI investments with physical infrastructure projects. Target sectors include manufacturing, defense, robotics, and energy. Sequoia asserts that AI models require a robust industrial base for real-world impact. The firm recently increased its investment in the AI company Anthropic.
