Sequoia Arc Fall 2026: 12-startup cohort offering $1M via post-money SAFE for 10% equity.
Sequoia Arc Fall 2026 is an upcoming Americas-focused cohort expected to run from September 2026 from San Francisco. Each company will receive $1 million upfront upon acceptance. The batch will continue Arc's bi-annual cadence with small, curated cohorts. By Fall 2026, Arc will have completed ten cohorts and built a substantial portfolio of pre-seed and seed-stage companies. The program will maintain its distinctive approach: significant upfront capital, intimate cohort sizes, structured company-building curriculum taught by Sequoia partners, and access to one of the world's most extensive venture capital networks. For prospective founders considering early-stage programs, Arc represents a premium option distinguished by its investment size, selectivity, and the Sequoia brand. Applications will likely open in mid-2026.
