Alfred Lin

I'm a partner at Sequoia Capital, where I back outlier founders with the ambition to build lasting, legendary companies.

I helped scale LinkExchange, Tellme Networks, and Zappos from early stages to successful exits, and today I serve on the boards of Airbnb, DoorDash, Citadel Securities, Kalshi, and more. My background is in applied mathematics and statistics, which shapes a rigorous, first‑principles approach to company building from seed to IPO and beyond.

Lets talk about early-stage company building, founder selection and development, and go-to-market and scaling.
