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’m specifically aiming at the “a culture that…” bit.
That the same logic with different garbs. It doesn’t become ok because it’s a “culture wink wink”.
It’s the same weapon used the same way with a tiny lil’ tweak to try dodge criticism.
This is transparent and should not be fooling anyone.
