Who are the most ambitious founders we should meet? 🚀

My Sequoia partners Bogomil Balkansky and Julien Bek just landed in Tel Aviv to meet with founders 🙌🏻🇮🇱

Excited to have just joined @Sequoia as a partner in London! Europe has world class entrepreneurial talent and I’m thrilled to get started with Luciana Lixandru, Alfred Lin, Matt Miller and the whole team to help the most ambitious founders build generational companies! 💫

For everyone with a dream, I started 20VC as an 18-year-old with £50 & no contacts.

Today I release our incredible discussion with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Work hard, be kind, never ever give up.

This is a moment I will cherish forever. 📷
