Tributes began pouring in for Don Valentine, founder of Sequoia Capital, after the firm announced his death on Friday. He was 87.

His early bets include video game company Atari in 1975 and Apple in 1978, which solidified Sequoia's reputation as one of the biggest and best venture firms in Silicon Valley.
