Stanford study confirms what entrepreneurs suspected: 46% of VCs are basically expensive Magic 8-balls with worse odds 🎱

Out of 12,069 middle-to-senior VC professionals studied, nearly half never achieved even a 2x return on any investment. To be fair, VC works on power law - most bets fail, but the few big wins compensate. Still... yikes 📊

This is why I don't make "community contributions" to "open platforms" which don't have some very solid legal framework for governance in place.

"Shaun Maguire wanted New York City voters to know about the dangers ahead. On July 4, the general partner at the industry-leading Sequoia Capital posted on X that Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was a secret "Islamist" who "comes from a culture of lying." Mamdani, he added, "has basically advocated for the destruction of America."

The comments were not unusual for Maguire, a self-described moderate former Hillary Clinton voter who has become a full-throated MAGA convert, defender of Israel, and one of the most provocative right-wing political commentators among an increasingly right-leaning group of venture capitalists and founders. This time, though, the social-media dam broke, bringing a flood of critical comments from startup founders and tech workers. Hundreds of Muslim founders signed an open letter asking that Sequoia apologize and discipline Maguire. At the Allen & Co. Sun Valley conference, the annual "summer camp for billionaires" in Idaho, Sequoia's managing partner Roelof Botha was hounded with questions about Maguire, The New York Times reported. Several other people I spoke to — including Maguire's friends, colleagues, and executives from a Sequoia limited partner and a Sequoia portfolio company — wondered what might happen to tech's new leading controversialist.

More broadly, the ongoing debate over Maguire's posts reflects a tech business riven by faultlines over the industry's positions on Israel's war in Gaza. Those disagreements, which have been tamped down by some Muslim tech workers' fear of losing their jobs or funding, are now exploding into the open."
