Managers

Soma Capital, which manages $1bn, appears to be one of the first venture firms to seek to hire a 'head of liquidity solutions.'

Roelof Botha, who has led the firm since July 2022, says he has stepped down and that partners Alfred Lin and Pat Grady "are Sequoia’s new stewards."

The veteran-led firm primarily invests in early-stage start-ups led by service academy alumni.

The early-stage VC backs software and hardware technology companies and has made nearly 100 investments since 2020.

LPs in previous funds include the Hartford Fire Insurance Company, the Missouri Department of Transportation and Highway Patrol Employees Retirement System and the Ford Family Foundation.

With professional networks and other social connections that are often markedly different from their male peers, this year’s Women of Influence share how they gain access to exceptional founders and start-ups.

The New York-based firm matches technology start-ups with its network of conglomerates to drive innovation in industrial sectors.

Completion of more than two-thirds of Flagship Fund III's target size was accomplished in only seven weeks and is due to strong support from both existing and new LPs.

After multiple exits as an entrepreneur, the former Sequoia scout investor will spearhead investments exceeding $100m that Fuel plans to make in AI start-ups.

The sovereign wealth fund will commit up to $75m to a 'fund of one' to be managed by Greenoaks, after previously committing up to $75m to Greenoaks' sixth flagship fund.
