Sequoia Capital operates as one of the longest-tenured and most institutionally significant US venture capital firms. The firm operates substantial Israeli investment activity through both direct Israeli operations and the broader Sequoia-affiliated fund architecture.

The June 2023 announced restructuring of Sequoia into separate Sequoia US/Europe, Sequoia China (now HongShan), and Sequoia India/Southeast Asia (now Peak XV) entities reshaped the firm's institutional architecture. The Israeli investment activity continues primarily through the Sequoia US/Europe entity.

Major Sequoia Israeli portfolio positions across the firm's operating history have spanned multiple decades and multiple Israeli technology cycles.
