Sequoia Capital to Invest in AI Holding Co. Sequence

Sequoia Capital is investing hundreds of millions of dollars into Sequence Holding, a one-year-old business that just announced a $7.7 billion insurance acquisition co-led by Michael Dell’s family office, say people familiar with the matter. This will be Sequoia’s second known investment in a new category of holding companies. These aim to buy businesses in established industries such as accounting, insurance and HOA management and then replace or complement some human work with AI. The new money raised from Sequoia is likely to allow Sequence, which has been scouting for targets, to make more acquisitions, according to people familiar with the matter.
