From New York to San Francisco, The Grove Conference has become one of our favorite ways to see this community in action.

For the past 10 years, business leaders have joined us to dig into some of the biggest questions facing companies today: how to manage rising healthcare costs, where AI truly fits in people strategy, and how trust and belonging shape the cultures we are all trying to build.

The pattern is clear: the best ideas did not come from a stage, they came from you. The stories you shared about tough renewals, bold comp decisions, AI experiments, and culture resets continue to influence how we think about the future of work and where Sequoia needs to show up next.

Thank you for the energy, candor, and conversations that make The Grove what it is. The Grove, and the clients who fill those rooms with insight and momentum, is one of our 25 favorite things.

Sequoia Impact has always been bigger than us. Over the last 25 years, clients, team members, families, and partners have shown up again and again to turn good intentions into real outcomes:

💚 More than 70,000 people activated in giving back
💚 Over 13,500 hours volunteered
💚 $2.7 million raised for charitable causes
💚 Hundreds of clients participating in our social impact programs
💚 Six years recognized as a top Bay Area corporate philanthropist
💚 50+ nonprofits served around the world

Sequoia Impact is one of our 25 favorite things because it reflects what happens when our clients and our team pull in the same direction. Thank you to every client who has partnered with us on these efforts.

There is something special about getting leaders in a room together and seeing what happens. Leader Connect has become one of our favorite ways to do that.

Clients, friends, and partners show up, share what they are trying, what they are worried about, and what they are learning in real time. The conversations stretch from AI and cost pressure, to culture, leadership, and the very human side of building companies.

It is less about a stage and more about a circle: founders comparing notes, CPOs, CEOs, and CFOs trading playbooks, and new relationships forming alongside the long‑standing ones that have defined our first 25 years.

To mark this milestone celebration, we are serving up the good champagne at our Leader Connects events this summer! We’ll be stocking up the bottles, keeping the bubbles flowing, and raising a glass with the clients who have made these gatherings what they are.

Leader Connect is one of our 25 favorite things because of the leaders who show up, speak candidly, and remind us what this work is really about.

From the early days of Sequoia, founders and people leaders told us they needed big company comp and benefits on a startup budget, with less admin noise and more time to focus on product, customers, and team.

Sequoia Tech exists because of those asks.

Together with our clients, we have shaped Sequoia Tech into a turnkey total comp and benefits program that helps tech innovators:

✅ Compete for top talent without losing sight of cost
✅ Offer standout healthcare and wellbeing programs without a heavy admin lift
✅ Give employees a modern, digital experience that reflects how much they are valued

For us, Sequoia Tech is one of our 25 favorite things because it reflects years of listening to tech clients, testing new ideas with our carrier and vendor partners, and building a solution that leaders keep their focus where it belongs: on innovation.

Thank you to every tech company that has trusted us to power this program and grow with you.

For us, Sequoia OS is not just a product story. It is a client story.

Over the years, people leaders asked us for one thing we kept hearing in different ways: “Help me see the whole picture so I can make better decisions for my people and my business.”

Sequoia OS exists because clients pushed us to move beyond point solutions and build an operating system that:
🔹 Brings comp, benefits, people, and equity data into one clear view
🔹Turns renewal spreadsheets and one-off decks into board-ready, always-on analytics
🔹Gives managers and employees a single place to understand and engage with total rewards

Abraham Awad at Vast said it best: "Sequoia OS is a centralized system that can do our compensation and our benefits. It makes rolling out total rewards so much easier."

A solution built on years of client journeys and shared problem-solving is one of our 25 favorite things.

Looking back over the years, the moments that tend to stand out most are the ones where our clients invited us all the way in, as an extension of their own team.

Whether we’re prepping for board conversations, renewal crunch time, or hiring your first international employee, we have heard a consistent theme:

“Sequoia has truly been an extension of our HR team.” - Cassandra Pratt, CHRO, Progyny, Inc.

"I trust that Sequoia is driving outcomes and results on our behalf, as an extension of our team." Jodi Weintraub, CHRO, Revinate

“It is really feeling like I have an extension of my own people team. I inherently trust them.” - Rodimiro Coronado, CPO, SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

To every client who has ever said we feel like part of your team, thank you. You are the reason we obsess over the details, rally around tough renewals, and keep pushing our platform and services forward.

Feeling like one team with you is one of our 25 favorite things.

We hope everyone had a great 4th of July holiday 🎆 We’re now picking back up with number 2️⃣ on our list of favorite things!

One number we are especially proud of is achieving a 76 NPS in 2026. Behind that number are the clients who invite us into their hardest moments and trust us to help them get it right.

Every strategy we build, every benchmarking review we run, and every “can you jump on a call?” moment starts with you counting on us to come through for your people.

That is why this number matters. It reflects the confidence leaders place in our team.

As Lorie Boyd shared, “It’s the team at Sequoia that I trust completely. Their expertise, their resourcefulness, their innovation. They are there for me.”

To every client who has taken the time to share feedback, push us to be better, and score us so highly, thank you. We do not take your trust lightly.

This is one of our 25 favorite things, and we carry it forward as a daily reminder to keep earning that trust, one interaction at a time.

25 years ago, Greg and Kelly Golub started Sequoia with one employee, one client, and a simple idea: come through for people who put their trust in us.

Since then, clients have invited us into some of their most important decisions: how to hire the first 10 people, how to expand into new markets, how to balance cost and care, and how to prove the impact of every dollar invested in their teams. You pushed us to move beyond a small benefits consultancy and build the total comp and benefits platform you needed to navigate a constantly shifting landscape.

The founding vision has not changed, but it has been shaped by you. We are still here to help people leaders hit their business goals with a smarter, more human approach to total comp and benefits.

To honor the founders and people leaders who took a chance on Sequoia, we are also giving back to the next generation of builders. We are donating $2,500 to Year Up United to help young adults gain the skills, experiences, and support that will empower them to reach their full potential.

This foundation, and the clients who made it possible, is one of our 25 favorite things.

Every milestone we celebrate starts with you.

As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we are kicking off a series dedicated to our clients: 25 of our favorite things from 25 years of coming through. We will look back at the innovators who trusted us with their dreams, the people leaders who inspired us to change the comp and benefits paradigm, and the teams who treated us as an extension of their own.

And because none of this happens without you, we are also using this series to give back to our clients and community. We will be sharing some ways we are paying it forward, as small tokens of our appreciation.

Every story we tell in this series is ultimately a story about you: the trust you placed in us, the challenges we solved together, and the outcomes you delivered for your people and your business.

Thank you for letting us be part of your journey. Here is to the next 25 years of coming through for you and your teams.

During the holidays, we offered our clients the opportunity to receive a special gift or to have a charitable donation made on their behalf. Many chose the donation, resulting in $56,000 going to six amazing charities.

These organizations provide healthcare and mental health resources to those in need (Ronald McDonald House, American Foundation for Su***de Prevention), respond to acute needs of the world (World Central Kitchen, International Committee of the Red Cross), and meet the urgent needs of our local communities (City Harvest Food Bank, Silicon Valley Community Foundation). Special thanks to our friends at Phin, whose platform powered this giving experience.

We’re thrilled with the outcome and grateful to our clients for uplifting others during the holidays. Thank you!
