Sequoia Capital will shut down its Washington D.C. office and disband its policy team by the end of March. This decision contrasts with other Silicon Valley firms, like Andreessen Horowitz, which are strengthening ties with the new Trump administration. Sequoia, which opened the office five years ago to assist companies with regulatory matters, has stated they are now well-equipped to maintain relationships without a dedicated team. The closure affects three full-time employees and policy fellows. The firm remains politically neutral despite some partners' past political expressions.
