Calacanis does not appear to be a partner in Sequoia. A search of the http://www.sequoiacap.com/ http://www.sequoiacap.com/ site for "calacanis" delivers no hits. The page http://www.sequoiacap.com/us/jason-calacanis http://www.sequoiacap.com/us/jason-calacanis does not exist (which I believe would if he were on their team in a formal capacity). In December 2006 he took an "entrepreneur in residence" role, which is normally temporary (e.g. 6-12 months to find a company to start or invest in), which may be misleading you. No one likes to have their private business contracts leaked, but it's always a good idea to operate in a way that you can withstand public scrutiny. Many other qualified investors--both Angels and VC's--have also been critical of the same business practices that Calacanis is criticizing. For example, the Angel Capital Association, Brad Feld, Fred Wilson, Joe Platnick.
