About
Arc is Sequoia Capital's seed-stage program designed to accelerate the growth of early-stage startups. Launched to help founders build enduring, category-defining companies, Arc provides a structured seven-week immersion, blending Sequoia’s decades of experience with hands-on workshops. Participants receive $1M in funding and work through core company-building topics, including product strategy, go-to-market, and culture, alongside access to Sequoia’s vast network of mentors, founders, and industry leaders. The program is focused on outlier founders in both North and Latin America. Each week, founders dive into crucial areas like product-market fit, customer engagement, and building scalable business models. Arc emphasizes founder development by fostering deep connections within its cohort and offering one-on-one mentorship with Sequoia partners. The curriculum culminates in a final presentation where participants refine their company stories and pitch to a select audience of Sequoia partners and potential customers, setting the foundation for future growth. With Arc, Sequoia aims to support early-stage founders, providing them not just with capital but the tools and insights necessary to navigate the complexities of scaling a startup in today's fast-evolving tech landscape.
