  • 00:00Sequoia is very successful but you have no winning partners . What do you think your responsibility is there. We think about it a lot . I like to think and genuinely believe that we are blind to somebody's sex today religion to their background. We probably have more different nationalities working at Sequoia than pretty much . It's a very cosmopolitan setting. The fact that we've embraced China we've embraced India. We operate in Israel for a long time. I think shows that the real question I think that you might have is why for example aren't there more women. We have many more women working in our China business than we do in our U.S. business. Why is that the case. I think the issue begins in the high schools and where women particularly in America and also in Europe tend to elect not to study the sciences when there are 11 and 12. So suddenly the hiring pool is much smaller. So you think it's a pipeline problem. Some would say well you're not looking. Oh we look very hard. In fact we just hired a young woman from Stanford who's every bit as good as her. Her peers and if they're more like her we'll hire them. What we're not prepared to do is to lower our standards. But if there are fabulously bright driven women who are really interested in technology very hungry to succeed and can meet our performance standards with Harlem all day and do the Alps care. Obviously the returns are great . Right. Do they care about this issue. They care about performance. Our job is to field the very best team at Sequoia and whether they're black or white or female or male or Muslim or Christian. We don't care .
