About Michael Moritz

Wales native Michael Moritz got his start as a journalist at Time Magazine after immigrating to America in 1976.

Moritz wrote an early biography of Steve Jobs and Apple, "The Little Kingdom," while he was Time's San Francisco bureau chief.

After making the jump to venture capital firm Sequoia Capital, Moritz invested in companies such as Google, LinkedIn and PayPal.

He stepped back from a leadership role at Sequoia in 2012 after being diagnosed with a rare and undisclosed medical condition.

In 2023, Sequoia announced in a letter to its limited partners that Moritz had left the firm after 38 years.

Moritz said in the letter he intended to shift focus to Sequoia Heritage, a wealth management business that runs independently to the venture practice.
