Shaun Maguire

Partner

Shaun Maguire, a partner at Sequoia Capital, distinguished himself over the past year by refusing the venture capital world's customary moral detachment. Speaking forcefully in defense of Israel and against antisemitism, Maguire framed Jewish self-defense as a universal moral issue rather than a parochial one. His outspokenness reflected a belief deeply rooted in Jewish tradition: that silence in the face of injustice is itself a form of complicity.
