VC powerhouse Sequoia Capital announced Tuesday that it is splitting into three entities. One of those entities, Sequoia China, known locally as HongShan, will operate as a distinct firm. The mighty Sequoia Capital is dropping branches. The decision puts to bed any question of a power struggle at one of Silicon Valley's most respected firms. And unlike some other global firms that had veto power over investments overseas, according to Bloomberg, Sequoia China had full autonomy to strike its own deals.

☆ Where is Silicon Valley's J. Pierpont Morgan?
  + stars: | 2023-03-17 | by ( Anita Ramaswamy | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
After withdrawals lashed the banking system in 1907, financier J. Pierpont Morgan corraled his peers into using their own money to calm the crisis. The contrast with Silicon Valley – which is also embroiled in the ongoing firestorm – couldn’t be more stark. Startup and technology firms’ cash crunch precipitated the fall of Silicon Valley Bank and its parent SVB Financial (SIVB.O), which in turn sparked panic in the financial system. Silicon Valley is fragmented and built on an individualistic ethos. Real, toothsome regulation might force Silicon Valley’s great minds to realize how interconnected their ecosystem is.
☆ Bridgewater's new executive team is already making big changes. But was it all part of Ray Dalio's master plan?

On tap, we've got stories on the top VCs in Texas, more headaches for Blackstone's BREIT, and why boomers stink. Maybe it's just the fear of facing your own mortality and realizing that life, in fact, will go on without you. As Rebecca Ungarino reports, the world's largest hedge fund is making a slew of new changes less than six months after billionaire founder Ray Dalio stepped aside. Bridgewater, which was founded in 1975 from Dalio's two-bedroom apartment, is arguably just as well known for its culture as its size.

☆ Legendary VC Doug Leone touts AI, praises Elon Musk, and reveals how he tests people over dinner in a new interview. Here are the 10 best quotes.
  + stars: | 2023-03-01 | by ( Theron Mohamed | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Doug Leone compared AI to mobile devices and the internet in terms of technological impact. Great companies often emerge in tough times, and easy money can be bad for founders, he said. Leone is a legendary venture capitalist who led Sequoia Capital for over 25 years. (Leone said he looks for founders, partners, and employees who are seen by others as insufferable, belligerent, and bad listeners.) "What you shouldn't do and say: 'There's money in venture, I want a cushy life, I want to go into venture.'
☆ CEO of $4.5 billion tech firm slams his peers over layoffs: 'These are humans'

HELSINKI, Finland — The boss of European digital insurance startup Wefox offered a damning response to tech companies that have laid off workers en masse. Swedish fintech firm Klarna was among the first major employers in tech to slash jobs this year, cutting 10% of its workforce in May. Several companies have followed suit, from those in Big Tech to venture-backed startups like Stripe. Julian Teicke, CEO of Wefox, told CNBC he is "disgusted" by what he views as a disregard by some of his peers for their employees. Venture capitalists have been advising startups in their portfolios to cut costs and freeze hiring as economists warn of an impending recession.
☆ 'We're going to dream a little less': Sequoia's Doug Leone on fallout from FTX's collapse

Doug Leone, managing partner at Sequoia Capital LLC, speaks during the Bridge Forum conference in San Francisco, California, U.S., on Wednesday, April 17, 2019. The event brings together leaders in finance and technology from Asia and Silicon Valley to connect and share insights. HELSINKI, Finland — Billionaire venture capitalist Doug Leone said there wasn't much his firm Sequoia Capital could do to predict the solvency crisis at FTX. Without mentioning FTX by name — though strongly hinting at it ("I'm not going to mention any acronyms") — Leone, Sequoia's global managing partner, said Sequoia had done "careful due diligence" on FTX. Sequoia was one of numerous blue-chip funds that backed FTX before its demise.
