Cole Pergament is a Partner on Sequoia Capital's growth team, one of the most storied venture platforms in Silicon Valley. A Wharton summa cum laude graduate who founded his university's undergraduate fintech group, Cole cut his teeth at Morgan Stanley's Global Technology Group before spending four years at BOND Capital, where he backed companies that became household names in AI and enterprise software - including OpenAI, Decagon, AlphaSense, Weights & Biases, and Wiz. He joined Sequoia in July 2025, bringing a reputation for seeking founders who embrace discomfort, question convention, and are fully committed to their vision.
David Cahn is a Partner at Sequoia Capital and one of the most closely-watched voices in AI infrastructure investing. A former General Partner and COO of Venture at Coatue Management, he backed foundational AI companies including HuggingFace, Runway, and Supabase before joining Sequoia in 2023. Known for his sharp, data-driven essays — most notably 'AI's $600B Question' — Cahn argues that the durability of the AI wave depends not on clever applications but on who controls the physical stack: servers, steel, and power. A University of Pennsylvania graduate, NYC native, and self-described iterative thinker, he is backing the next generation of AI-native companies from Sequoia's Menlo Park headquarters.
