The three filings updated today were initially submitted on June 19, 2018, and they indicate that the firm closed its first hard capital commitments for the funds in the days following the filings.
On that same day, Sequoia Capital also made a filing for its sixth India-focused venture fund, which closed out $695 million in mid-August 2018. Other filings from mid-June 2018 include Sequoia Capital U.S. Venture Fund XVI and Sequoia Capital China Seed Fund I, which have yet to be updated at the time of writing.
