Partner, Sequoia Capital

About

Jess Lee is a former Polyvore co-founder and CEO who became a Sequoia partner, bringing an unusual dual role as both investor and Chief Product Officer where she runs programs like Sequoia's Arc and helps founders work toward product-market fit using structured frameworks. She's known for her creative background as someone who originally wanted to be a graphic novelist and remains an avid cosplayer, which shapes how she thinks about storytelling and product experience in ways that are uncommon among VCs.
