Increase shareholder value through smarter people spend
Sequoia is the compensation and benefits partner that turns people spend into portfolio performance. Our team of advisors look at the total people spend of portfolio companies holistically, activating tailored strategies to deploy cash and equity effectively.
Align compensation to the market and to the business
We operate as a trusted extension of the board, pairing expert compensation advisory with an integrated operating system built for investor-backed companies. Our advisors partner with your comp committee to standardize foundations, calibrate executive pay and equity, and run a disciplined rhythm that accelerates execution and drives value. Our benchmarks provide insight based on our own market dataset as well as exclusive access to Carta’s private market data.
Transform benefits complexity into a performance lever
Of the 75% of spend devoted to people, benefits – roughly 15% – is the most complex. Sequoia turns that complexity into a performance lever, delivering competitive, talent-attracting programs while containing costs. We align funding strategies to company stage and sequence readiness with a tailored approach for each portfolio company, from PEO to self-insured.
