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.
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.
