Abhishek Malani, Sequoia’s Rising Star

​The Yale Table is bringing Abhishek Malani, Growth Investor at Sequoia Capital, to dinner, and you do not want to sleep on this one. Abhishek is one of Sequoia's rising stars, known for partnering with early-stage founders at exactly the right moment, when a company is starting to break out and needs the right person in their corner to go from traction to category dominance. His bets speak for themselves: Kalshi (the first federally regulated prediction market, now valued at over $1B), Juicebox (the AI-native recruiting platform reshaping how companies hire), and Waymo (the global leader in autonomous driving, with millions of fully driverless miles and commercial operations across major U.S. cities).

​This is an intimate dinner, just 10 seats, so the conversation will be real, direct, and worth every minute. Expect to dig into what it takes to build companies that redefine entire industries, how Abhishek spots founders worth betting on, and what he means when he says "the best founders keep going, not because it's rational, but because they can't imagine doing anything else."*

​Selected students will cover the cost of dinner. Apply for your seat, and come ready to talk.
