		<description>What Upin was doing and what Beckwith was doing were completely unrelated, except for the fact they were both under the Sequoia roof.  The Forbes article nails all the key points and is factually correct in every important way.  It highlights the problems, though, of a firm like Sequoia moving beyond its core competency of US early stage venture.  Its never been as good in any other field.</description>

		<description>FYI, Makena Capital is run by Mike McCaffrey, who formerly ran the Stanford endowment, and hence the connection with Upin.</description>
