Adding New Talent at Sequoia
In 1981, Don convinces Pierre Lamond to come in and join him at Sequoia as a partner. He stays as an active investing partner for almost 30 years. In the late 80s, two very, very important people joined Sequoia from interesting backgrounds. Michael Moritz is still an active general partner, making and leading investments today. And then there's Mike Benode who has never built a company or his own firm other than this VC newsletter company. But he ends up being incredibly prescient that leads to Yahoo and Google and many more companies.
