Sequoia helps daring founders build legendary companies from idea to IPO and beyond. We aim to be the first true believers in tomorrow’s most valuable and enduring businesses. We partner with a few outliers each year and go all-in, providing them with the hands-on help required at every stage of the company building journey. Our expertise comes from 50 years of working with legendary founders like Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Jan Koum, Adi Tatarko, Brian Chesky, Jensen Huang, Anne Wojcicki, Eric Yuan, Patrick Collison, Julia Hartz, and Sebastian Siemiatkowski. In aggregate, Sequoia-backed companies account for more than 25% of NASDAQs total value. Since our inception, the vast majority of the money we invest has been on behalf of nonprofits and schools like the Ford Foundation, Mayo Clinic and MIT, which means most of the returns we generate benefit these great causes.

NRJ GROUP figure parmi les principaux groupes de média privés français exerçant les métiers déditeur, de producteur, de diffuseur tout en assurant la commercialisation de ses propres espaces média. En France, le Groupe occupe une place importante sur le marché privé de la radio grâce à ses 4 marques (NRJ, CHERIE FM, NOSTALGIE et RIRE & CHANSONS) ; est un acteur significatif du marché de la télévision qui opère et développe deux chaînes nationales gratuites (NRJ 12 et CHERIE 25) et une chaîne payante (NRJ HITS, 1ère chaîne musicale du câble-satellite-ADSL) ; et est le 2ème opérateur du marché français de la diffusion, à travers sa filiale towerCast. S’appuyant sur la force de ses marques, son expertise marketing et sa puissance commerciale, le Groupe a également développé ces dernières années un écosystème digital lui permettant de suivre et d’anticiper l’évolution de la consommation des médias sur les nouveaux supports en prolongement de son territoire de marques initial : sites web, applications mobiles, multi-channel network et plus de 220 radios digitales. NRJ Group est aujourd’hui le 1er groupe privé de radios digitales en France. Cette présence digitale permet aux régies publicitaires du Groupe, avec la data qui est un enjeu stratégique pour le Groupe, de proposer une offre élargie à ses clients avec un ciblage publicitaire affiné. A l’international, le Groupe est implanté dans 14 autres pays, soit par le biais dimplantations directes, soit via des contrats de licence de marque NRJ/ENERGY, première marque radio internationale, et/ou NOSTALGIE/NOSTALGIA.
