Sequoia Arc Fall 2025: 12-startup cohort offering $1M via post-money SAFE for 10% equity.
Sequoia Arc Fall 2025 was an Americas-focused cohort running from September 2025 from San Francisco. Each company received $1 million upfront upon acceptance. The batch continued Arc's established bi-annual cadence with small, curated cohorts. By Fall 2025, Arc had funded approximately 80-100 companies across eight completed cohorts, building a substantial portfolio and alumni network. The program maintained its focus on pre-seed and seed-stage founders with category-defining potential, selected through open applications. AI applications and infrastructure continued to dominate the cohort composition. The batch reflected Arc's mature operating model: refined curriculum, strong partner engagement, established alumni relationships, and clear pathways to Sequoia's broader fund for follow-on investment.
