This week VC Twitter has been buzzing about one big announcement: Sequoia Capital, one of the most revered venture capital firms around, is shifting its model and creating The Sequoia Fund, an open-end fund (read: no 10-year fund cycle) for its U.S. and European investments. It will be an overarching fund composed of public stocks that will then feed capital into closed-end sub-funds that will make venture investments, according to the firm’s blog post.
