 SiliconBeat: Sequoia to invest in China?
Sequoia Capital, the well-known Silicon Valley venture capital that backed Cisco, Yahoo, Google and others, has reportedly raised a $200 million China fund -- a significant development for the firm that has long focused mainly on the U.S. and whose former leader has publicly dismissed China as being in the midst of a huge bubble.
Sequoia is famous for not responding to press inquiries, so we're unlikely to get any confirmation from them.
But Sequoia's leader Mike Moritz was in Israel on Thursday, and an interview was published today in TheMarker.com, in which we're told he said Sequoia will soon announce the fund.

Sequoia occupies a modest building at one end of the Sand Hill Road, the epicentre of Silicon Valley's VC world.
Typically, Sequoia Capital holds a 25-50 per cent stake in an early stage company, depending on the level of the venture capital company's contribution to the new start-up.
Mr Moritz is confident about the direction in which Sequoia Capital is heading, but as every wise venture capitalist knows, the element of risk is high: "We are only as good as our next investment," he says.
