13 Silicon Valley Startups Raised $183.3M - Week of July 29, 2024👨💻 Race Capital is Hiring Engineers 🌲 Sequoia Capital History and Profile on Roelof Botha 💰 The Risk of Underinvesting 🇨🇳 The U.S. Wanted to Knock Down HuaweiHappy Monday! 🇭🇰🥢🏙️🥮 I’m sending this from a very hot Hong Kong! I was on CNBC this morning talking about the relationship between big tech and politics leading up to the U.S. elections. All venture capitalists will pay close attention to regulatory decisions and policies (immigration, AI, Crypto, M&A, IPO and tax) that will impact our startups long term. The next leader will need to rethink how to support innovation, protect startup and the venture capital industry. Here are a few great things to read this week: 👨💻 Race Capital is Hiring Engineers - We're looking for a technical associate to join our investment team at Race Capital, to help us source and invest in the next greatest infrastructure & enterprise startups that are similar to our portfolio companies Databricks, Vectara, Play, Scarf, and others.

Read more on Reuters. 🇨🇳 The U.S. Wanted to Knock Down Huawei. It’s Only Getting Stronger - China’s government support for Huawei ramped up in recent years. Its profits have more than doubled last year, the largest jump in at least two decades. Roughly 2/3 of its revenue comes from domestic customers. In all, Huawei received nearly $3 billion in the past five years, accounting for 3% of its total R&D expenses. Read on WSJ. This week a total of 13 startups raised $183.3M in funding, 3 M&As:
