How a Sequoia Capital Partner’s Mamdani Posts Dragged the Firm Into Politics
Sequoia Capital, which backed Nvidia, Google and Apple when they were start-ups, has long stayed above the fray. But one partner’s post about Zohran Mamdani set off a chain reaction.

This heatwave in the Nordic EU? Oh, obviously climate change, courtesy of capitalism warming up the planet like it’s one big corporate sauna.
