Hi Sam,

I cannot take acquisition notices seriously unless they are posted on Medium. Please repost there, thanks.

relax bro... haha

"*Sequoia LPs will have 30 days to export their data." That's a very good punchline.

It's one of those days when everyone gets to express their ambition under the veil of prank. ;-)

As soon as I saw Incredible Journey, capitalized.

We have a blog and Sequoia doesn’t. HAHAHAHA

Goddamnit I was so convinced...

Oh I didn't realize this was a joke until I came here and saw your comment.

Next year I am officially closing down from the internet and taking a spring break on April 1.

I really like this idea. Please re-post as-is on April 2nd.

I'm really looking forward to YC Forestry!

Not trying to be weird or anything but incredible journey is capitalized and it's really bugging me for some reason.

The phrase "incredible journey" is often used by startups when they get acquired, especially when the acquisition also means shuttering the product or service. People like to joke because of how often that phrase is used.

Case of the Mondays on Friday.

Is it April 1st already?

double take was had.

And soon Sequoia Combinator will conquer the world!

Happy April 1st :)

Will you also be acquiring any of the Sequoia partners' sex slaves as part of the deal?

"*Sequoia LPs will have 30 days to export their data." LOL. Nice touch.

Reminds me of the last act in The Hateful Eight about Major Warren's(Samuel L. Jackson) purported letter from Abraham Lincoln...

"Ole Mary Todd's calling, so I guess it must be time for bed." "Ole Mary Todd.' That's a nice touch,"
