Sequoia’s response to Shaun Maguire’s Islamophobic tweets—and the quiet exit of COO Sumaiya Balbale —reflects a deeper paradox of the anti-woke Trump era: where conviction is punished, and silence is mistaken for strength. Because in today’s venture world, performance often

Shaun Maguire’s Islamophobic tweets and Sequoia’s silence have ignited a moral crisis in venture capital — exposing bias, power, and who gets protected.

Sequoia’s silence isn’t strategy—it’s the paradox of the anti-woke Trump era: where power punishes empathy and neutrality becomes moral collapse. My latest for @Forbes: Inside Sequoia’s Culture Crisis: When Silence Exposes Venture Capital’s Moral Void.

Excellent work by @Sindhya in @Forbes capturing the evolution of the #GLP1 era — from tele-Rx hype to longevity-focused, physician-led metabolic care. Honored to contribute to such a timely piece. https://t.co/hrdLGSGx4v

The Ozempic economy is cracking under its own weight. Trump’s $150 comment wasn’t the crash — it was the correction. The next phase won’t be about who prescribes the most drugs, but who builds the system around them. My latest for @Forbes: 🔗 https://t.co/gaZwCg22A2

Coinbase is treated like a bank when it comes to surveillance — but not when it comes to safeguarding users. That paradox is crypto’s Achilles’ heel.

Coinbase is treated like a bank when it comes to surveillance — but not when it comes to safeguarding users. Its ‘secure and trusted’ image is unraveling. I dive into the legal + @coinbase's User Agreement contract architecture + its paradox surveilled like a bank in my latest

Lose $100,000. Get back a $100, which won't even cover your Netflix subscription. That’s @coinbase's fine print. Watch out! Read more in my latest @forbes article #Coinbase #Crypto #Security

Smart scales are dumb. DXA scans are inaccessible. @ycombinator-backed @ShapeScale is betting that visibility = infrastructure in the GLP-1 era—making @PeterAttiaMD's “muscle is the organ of longevity” visible in 3D. My latest for @Forbes: https://t.co/EMWTT0ScUf

Longevity doctors warn GLP-1 drugs may cost patients muscle, not just fat. ShapeScale’s 3D scans reveal the loss—and help preserve healthspan.

Israel targets a Palestinian mother and her son during their displacement with a rocket. IT'S MADNESS they used a rocket with hundreds of thousands of dollars to kill a mother and her son. These are the weapons that are flowing to them from the US and EU to kill innocent people

. @wsj put three bylines on a billionaire roll call (~$5B over 25 years) in longevity investing. Interesting, but incomplete and lacking insight. The real story: Longevity ≠ a billionaire hobby. It’s moving to sovereign/family balance sheets with off-cycle, long-duration bets

At mammo and ultrasound appointment, i cannot believe that my @UHC PPO requires me to pay $47 for the ultrasound part which should be covered. Women get so screwed over by healthcare and heath insurance companies. Breakthroughs like DeepLook Medical’s imaging AI can transform
