Luciana Lixandru

I'm a Partner at Sequoia Capital, where I back exceptional European founders: the creative spirits, the underdogs, the resolute, the outsiders, the independent thinkers, the fighters, the true believers.

I grew up in Romania, studied at Georgetown, and fell in love with tech investing early in my career. I spent years at Accel partnering with category leaders like UiPath and Miro, then joined Sequoia to help build our presence in Europe from the ground up. I invest from seed to growth, with a founder-first lens and a bias for teams solving hard problems at high speed.

Lets talk about founder-market fit, European company building, and early-stage investing.
