I'm shocked Sequoia hasn't taken this article about SBF off their website

I guess SBF gave them a generic super-app pitch LITERALLY WHILE ALSO PLAYING LEAGUE OF LEGENDS and they all went apeshit over it and gave him millions of dollars

Congrats @mariaressa for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, the first Filipino ever!

You do our country proud in the midst of impunity and the narrowing of the democratic space!

Sea's $SE bid to raise $6.3b is likely geared towards global domination for Shopee with recent expansions in India, LatAm, and Europe. Ads will be key to that - our analysis shows it could easily be a high-margin $400m rev biz - to start. https://t.co/xc0Cl6E4AV
