Sequoia Arc Spring 2025: 12-startup cohort offering $1M via post-money SAFE for 10% equity.
Sequoia Arc Spring 2025 was an Americas-focused cohort running from March 2025 from San Francisco. Each company received $1 million upfront upon acceptance. The Spring 2025 batch continued Arc's bi-annual cadence, maintaining small cohort sizes and high-touch mentorship. The program had applications due by February 23, 2025. AI remained central to the cohort, with founders building across AI infrastructure, applications, developer tools, and traditional technology verticals. Arc's three-year track record had established it as one of the most prestigious early-stage programs available, with a growing network of alumni companies and strong follow-on funding rates. The batch benefited from a healthy venture capital environment and sustained founder interest in AI-powered products. For pre-seed and seed-stage founders, Arc offered a unique combination of significant capital ($1M), intimate cohort size (~10 companies), and direct access to one of venture capital's most storied firms.
