@shak @eldsjal Bold, exciting innovation and leadership fron @eldsjal @shak

2013 / Daniel Ek @eldsjal “I think in 30 years we’re going to look back and say that the way doctors are treating us now is close to witchcraft,” Ek spends spare hours thinking about how to fix a “screwed-up” healthcare system, reading PhD papers on genetics and DNA sequencing. He is vague on whether this “pet project” could be the germ of a new company, saying it may take five to 10 years to have the necessary technology. “I’m not the inventor,” he adds, “but I may be the person that’s dumb enough to go against the system and try to beat it on its own terms.” ft.com/content/ca45f6…?

Venture investing is a remarkable job. You get to hear visions for the future from founders. Then you get to help in a small way while they go and will that vision into existence with resilience, grace, and grit. Being at Sequoia has given me the chance to work with some of the best founders in the world. Bret and Clay. Max, Jeff, Marcelo, and Daniele. Eric and Karim. Saji and Ashu. Job and Marcelo. Anil and Sunil. George. So many others. They are awe-inducing and inspiring. So inspiring that I've decided to join them and start my own company. I miss building and leading. I want to compete on the field during the AI wave. I'll share more soon, but for the moment, I will say that AI is the most transformative technology of our lifetimes. The opportunity for companies who embrace it thoughtfully and aggressively is unbounded. I love Sequoia and have made lifelong friends here. I have been lucky to learn from the very best. And I will still be on the team. Sequoia will be a founding investor in the new company and I will remain a Partner. I am so excited to get back on the field. LFG.

@altcap Brad / you are amazing! Huge congratulations- to changing so many lives!

Dell will match $$ into Invest America accounts & will make a major gift from their foundation to the accounts of kids. “The Invest America Act enables the promise of financial mobility or as President Lincoln said the right to rise.” @MichaelDell

@HarryStebbings Sending you both so much love. Your Mum is an inspiration 🩷

This week we got some bad news. The lesions on my mother’s brain have increased. In other words, her MS is progressing. Her response: walk a marathon with me and embrace everyday for the gift it is. She taught me that only you set the limits of your achievements and even then, you underestimate yourself. To so many mothers out there, you inspire your children in ways they will remember forever. ❤️

@davidmarcus @RevolutApp @lightspark 👏👏👏👏

Very excited to welcome @RevolutApp to the Money Grid powered by Bitcoin very soon. Lighting up Europe + UK with one of the best product and brand is an honor for all of us at @lightspark

@m2jr What a legend! So sorry for your loss

This morning, Mike Maples Sr. passed away in Austin, Texas. To me, he wasn’t just my dad—he was a mentor, a friend, and one of the greatest inspirations of my life. Even though I knew this moment was coming, nothing could get me ready for it. It’s hard to accept that he is really gone and even harder to imagine a world without him in it. His presence was such a constant in my life, and the void his passing leaves behind feels overwhelming. I’m so grateful for the time we had, but I’ll always wish for more. My dad’s story began in 1942, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, where his curiosity and drive shaped his early years. After earning a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma in 1965 and an MBA from Oklahoma City University in 1969, he served in Vietnam. His business career began at IBM, where he started as a Systems Engineer and played various leadership roles over two decades. Then, in 1988, Bill Gates invited him to join Microsoft, where he served as head of products during one of the most transformative periods in the company’s history. His leadership played a vital role in establishing Microsoft as a global technology powerhouse, but what set Dad apart was his genuine ability to connect with people and make them feel valued. When he retired in 1995, he embraced a new chapter as a rancher in Cypress Mill, Texas. But retirement didn’t slow him down. He continued to mentor entrepreneurs and business leaders, sharing his wisdom and enthusiasm for innovation. Whether it was in the boardroom or on a ranch, Mike Sr’s ability to guide and inspire never changed. For all his accomplishments, my dad’s greatest pride and joy was his family. He and my mom, Carolyn, shared a extraordinary 60 years of marriage, marked by love, adventure, and unwavering support for each other. As a father to my brother Benton and me, he poured his heart into teaching us, supporting us, and, most importantly, loving us. He reveled in time with his grandchildren, and his face would light up at every family gathering, sharing stories or just enjoying the moment. He had this uncanny knack for making you feel like the most important person in the room, like life was more of a comedy than a tragedy, and like you were his partner in crime, always in on the joke. Looking back on his life, he didn’t just build a career—he built relationships, created opportunities, and left a legacy that will endure far beyond his time. He showed that it’s possible to be both powerful and kind, serious yet able to laugh at yourself. He was fiercely committed to success, but he pursued it in a way that honored the spirit of true greatness—winning not for the sake of winning at all costs, but for the sake of doing things the right way. Most of all, he tried emphasize to 'always do your best'—and not as a mere platitude. He would remind me that none of us knows how much time we have—maybe a lot, maybe just a little. But he believed that the best way to honor the gift of time was to give it your all. Do your absolute best, make the most of every moment, and strive to be the best version of yourself. For him, doing your best wasn’t just about effort—it was about gratitude. His mentorship, his laughter, and his love will forever be part of our lives. Dad, I’ll miss you beyond what words can hold. I’m still trying to process it all—there’s so much more I could say even though I’m grateful to have seen you at the very end for a last goodbye. But for now, thank you for being a guiding light and for showing up in the world in a way that every father should aspire to. Godspeed, Dad. Hopefully someday, across the great beyond, I'll see you again.
