  shrug You don't have to believe me. It's no skin off my back. But as you say, you don't have access to that information. Looking at the people who have responded to this thread, I see at least three people who do. So, maybe check yourself? Wovon man nicht sprechen kann... Out of curiosity, have you ever raised outside capital before?

  Fair enough. But note that article is from 2004, and it's talking mostly about funds raised post-1999, i.e., immediately before the dot-com crash. If you were sincerely interrogating the data, you'd ask yourself how Sequoia faired relative to other funds and asset classes in that same time period. For example, did it still beat the stock market? You'd also admit that 2004 is right when the "internet sector" saw a huge upswing. Facebook (2004). YouTube (2005). Yelp (2004). Instead it's clear you're just trying to find data to prove your inane point. Anyhow, this is really pointless. Enjoy the feeling of internet vindication.
