Good morning! It’s the end of an era for Sequoia Capital, as the firm announced a split into three entirely separate entities: Sequoia US + EU, Sequoia China, and Sequoia India. Sometimes you just can’t escape geopolitics 🤷

🌶 Highlight of the day 🌶

Notion rolled out project management functionality. Notion Projects directly competes with the likes of Asana and Jira, letting users manage projects end-to-end within Notion itself. The product has a focus on efficiency, with a neat AI auto-fill feature as well as flexible workflow automations ⚙️

It’s another step by Notion in the direction of becoming a one-stop-shop for the connected workplace 👩‍💼
