Sequoia's split with Roelof Botha: fund restructuring and an unexpected move to SpaceX's board of directors
After Roelof Botha stepped down as steward of Sequoia Capital, the firm announced the closure of its London office, the merger of its early-stage and late-stage teams, and the wind-down of the Scouts program. Financial Times links these moves to a break with Botha's legacy, and sources for the outlet say partners were caught off guard by his move to SpaceX's board of directors in the summer of 2026.
