The critique against Sequoia from founders is that if they take their money, they may be fired because the mission of the business is bigger than the CEO's ability. There is no free lunch in the market. Traditional Silicon Valley practice used to be replacing founders with professional CEOs, but now founders control their companies with super voting shares. The start program for surplus elites is ending, and the professional managerial classes are under pressure. Going woke may lead to going broke because there are no marketable skills.
