swyx 自述被 Sequoia 结束 Scout 合作,拟自立门户筹新基金

Why we picked it

swyx 亲口说自己被 Sequoia 悄悄移出 Scout 项目,连个邮件都没有,现在拉人单干搞新基金,内幕细节挺有意思。

swyx 在 X 上发文称,自己在没有收到 Sequoia 任何邮件的情况下,发现自己已不再是 Sequoia Scout,与 Temporalio 相关的主要合伙人也不再合作。他表示过去一个月 Sequoia 没有邮件说明、发短信也没有合伙人回复。swyx 称当初是为了更近距离学习 Sequoia 的长期伙伴文化而加入 Scout 项目。接下来他计划与 @mariadlzollo 共同发起一个小型 side fund,正在寻找 compute 合作方(可能担任 GP 或赞助方)和一位研究员 GP,可通过 DM 或 [email protected] 联系。

uhh so this is how i found out that i'm not only no longer a Sequoia Scout, my main partner (and boardmember since @Temporalio) is also gone.

no email from sequoia yet about anything in the past month. no response to my texts from any partner.

I literally left my previous partnership to join Sequoia because I respected what they have built and thought they represent the epitomy of what being long term partners could be in Silicon Valley and I wanted to be closer to that from the inside rather than read about it in @colossusmag hagiographies.

disappointed. i respect the new direction but the collateral damage is high.

on the plus side, i think i am done being a scout. @mariadlzollo and I are going to raise a small side fund, by founders for founders. we are seeking a compute partner (possible GP, or just sponsor/in-kind-investor), and a researcher GP.

pls enquire within - dm or text if you have me, else [email protected]
