  3. Looks like even the big guns are getting cautious. Sequoia's Roelof Botha is advising founders to pump the brakes on valuation inflation, with the firm doubling down on selectivity.

    Are we seeing the end of the 'growth at all costs' era? What's your take?

  4. Klarna's IPO went pop, raising $1.4B! Sequoia's laughing all the way to the bank, as most shares were offloaded by existing investors. Smart move, or a sign of things to come?

    What are your thoughts on 'buy now, pay later' stocks?

  6. "Shaun Maguire wanted New York City voters to know about the dangers ahead. On July 4, the general partner at the industry-leading Sequoia Capital posted on X that Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was a secret "Islamist" who "comes from a culture of lying." Mamdani, he added, "has basically advocated for the destruction of America."

    The comments were not unusual for Maguire, a self-described moderate former Hillary Clinton voter who has become a full-throated MAGA convert, defender of Israel, and one of the most provocative right-wing political commentators among an increasingly right-leaning group of venture capitalists and founders. This time, though, the social-media dam broke, bringing a flood of critical comments from startup founders and tech workers. Hundreds of Muslim founders signed an open letter asking that Sequoia apologize and discipline Maguire. At the Allen & Co. Sun Valley conference, the annual "summer camp for billionaires" in Idaho, Sequoia's managing partner Roelof Botha was hounded with questions about Maguire, The New York Times reported. Several other people I spoke to — including Maguire's friends, colleagues, and executives from a Sequoia limited partner and a Sequoia portfolio company — wondered what might happen to tech's new leading controversialist.

    More broadly, the ongoing debate over Maguire's posts reflects a tech business riven by faultlines over the industry's positions on Israel's war in Gaza. Those disagreements, which have been tamped down by some Muslim tech workers' fear of losing their jobs or funding, are now exploding into the open."

  7. On the #xAI purchase of #X (#Twitter)

    Because both companies are privately held & controlled by #Musk, the transaction likely amounts to a #stock swap, with X investors getting paid out in xAI shares. The companies have a number of mutual investors, including venture firms #AndreessenHorowitz & #SequoiaCapital, as well as #Fidelity Management, #VyCapital & #SaudiArabia’s Kingdom Holding Co.

  8. nothing to see here, just a couple of the Nerd Reich's "free speech absolutists" threatening to use state violence to compel speech.

    (ICYMI what's happening here is that one of the guys from #a16z who bought #Twitter with #ElonMusk is threatening advertisers with criminal prosecution if they don't spend enough money advertising on #X. #ShaunMaguire is a crypto bro at #SequoiaCapital.)

  9. One week earlier, #Trump was #convicted of 34 #felony counts of falsifying business records to suppress a sex scandal. The day the verdict came down, #ShaunMaguire, a #SiliconValley #VC from #SequoiaCapital, announced…that he was giving $300k to Trump. But the real money was about to flow. The cheapest ticket to the fundraiser was $50k, & it was $300k to attend a smaller dinner w/Trump after the reception. The money would go directly to the campaign via Trump’s joint fund-raising cmte w/the #RNC

  15. Some extracts from my pinned toot concerning the ways in which #Uniswap is a particularly diabolical means of capital extraction devised by #TheNerdReich bros of #a16z, #SequoiaCapital, and the rest (and their obscenely well paid and equally obscenely dishonest lawyers) and how the capital being extracted is currently being funneled into the 2024 election.

    (The specifics of the electoral corruption are better documented by @molly0xfff; this is more an in depth explainer of the mechanics of one of The Nerd Reich's more effective grifts.)

  16. #TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Of Tech Bros And Trumpers

    The reason so many Silicon Valley billionaires suddenly decided to back #DonaldTrump is not the mystery the media is making it out to be.

    tl;dr The billionaires backing #Trump are crypto bros and they want to continue profiting from committing various kinds of crimes.

    This is a "follow the money" deep dive into how some of these bros profit by investing in companies like #Uniswap that create excellent tools for #NorthKorea to launder stolen money with a passing explanation of how #Coinbase facilitates the overall system.

  17. Those excited by e recent rise of #bitcoin may want to watch #NHK World's insightful #documentary, The Rise and Fall of a #Crypto Star, tt showed how Sam Bankman-Fried's #FTX hooked global investors like #sequoiacapital & others (incl'g #sovereignfunds) reportedly due to #FOMO -- seemingly attracted to #SBF guise of #EffectiveAltruism, whilst recording FTX's billion-$ operations with #QuickBooks & yet no #investor caught them prior to their sudden #bankruptcy!? #Singapore

  18. How did #China get so good at chips and #AI?
    House Select Committee on the China Communist Party (CCP) investigation revealed Thursday that five #venturecapital funds – #GGVCapital, #GSRVentures, #QualcommVentures, #SequoiaCapital, and #WaldenInternational – were responsible for injecting billions of dollars into Chinese AI and #semiconductor businesses tied to #humanrights abuses and the People's Liberation Army (PLA).
