That's more than 75% below where Sequoia and Andreessen invested in early 2021.
At that time, Instacart sold shares at $125 a piece for a $39 billion valuation.
The 400,000 shares it purchased in 2021 are a small sliver of the 51.2 million shares it owns.
Neither Sequoia nor Andreessen participated in that round.
Even if Instacart's IPO can't lift its valuation anywhere near its Covid-era peak, it's likely that Sequoia, Andreessen and other venture firms are hoping it helps lift public investor enthusiasm for new tech stocks.
