To the Leadership of Sequoia Capital,
We, the undersigned global founders from across the tech industry, are writing to demand immediate and decisive action in response to the unacceptable conduct of your partner, Shaun Maguire. His recent post on X on July 4, 2025, along with a documented pattern of anti-Muslim rhetoric over the past two years, has caused significant harm to the global tech community.
I’ll be honest, all statements against Mamdami have been by rich people. They’re trying to make it a race thing where it’s a rich people thing
Rich people*
“comes from a culture that lies about everything”
What do you think he meant by that ?
How the logic of his statement works seems very plain to me, we’ve seen that a million times.
Sorry it seems you’ve stepped into the wrong timeline.
think about everything they wrote about Joe Biden just a year ago
comes from a culture
America?
How does sharing xenophobic bullshit on twitter “harm global tech community”
if people dont like you they might not feel inclined to give you money
What?
American individualism is when you believe everyone is as bad as you or worse
Self-fulfilling prophecy when they never want to cooperate in fear of being ripped off

No idea who the Maguire fellow is, but since he works for a large American VC firm, the piece about “coming from a culture of lying” is clearly projection.

How can this be projection? Silicon Valley’s culture brought us fraudulent medical tech, cryptocurrency scams, industrialized wire fraud, illegal taxis, and DRM juice machines. A paragon of honesty and integrity if I ever saw one.
