Sean
Shaun Maguire is a partner at Sequoia Capital, where he focuses on hard tech and hardware investments. He joined Sequoia in 2019 after serving as a partner at Google Ventures. He is known for his advocacy of domestic manufacturing and hardware investment, having authored a hardware manifesto at Sequoia and argued that America's decades-long outsourcing of manufacturing poses strategic risks. He holds a Ph.D. in quantum gravity and co-founded the cybersecurity company Expanse, which was acquired by Palo Alto Networks in 2020.
“When I met Sean three years ago, even before he invested in Neros, he was explaining to me his thesis of hard tech and why it's so important to invest in manufacturing and how manufacturing has left America, but we need to bring it back.”
