Sequoia has confirmed to TechCrunch that it will be closing its Washington, D.C., office and parting ways with its policy team by the end of March.

This development comes as a contrast to other prominent VC firms in Silicon Valley, which are currently strengthening their connections with Capitol Hill and the new Trump administration. For instance, Andreessen Horowitz has been leveraging its policy team, with several partners taking on roles in the White House. The firm recently appointed former Republican congressman Patrick McHenry as an advisor, as reported in this article.

Sequoia established its Washington office five years ago to assist its companies with regulatory issues and foster stronger relationships with policymakers. According to a statement provided to TechCrunch by a Sequoia spokesperson, the policy team’s “strategic guidance and efforts” have enabled the firm to strengthen its relationships and knowledge, positioning it well to move forward in the U.S. and Europe.

As a result, Sequoia has decided to discontinue its dedicated policy function and close its D.C. office by the end of March. The spokesperson expressed gratitude to the team for their contributions and impact, stating, “To that end, we are sunsetting the dedicated policy function and closing our D.C. office at the end of March. We are grateful to the team for their contributions and impact.”

Sources inform Fortune, which first reported this news, that the changes will affect the policy fellows as well as three full-time employees.

Although Sequoia generally maintains a neutral stance on politics, some of its partners have openly expressed their political views. Notably, Shaun Maguire, a partner at the firm, is a vocal supporter of President Trump and is reportedly involved in screening candidates for DOGE.
