Sequoia Capital, one of the world’s largest venture firms, told investors Tuesday morning it would divide its global partnership into three separate and independent geographic units, splitting off its Sequoia China venture from the marquee Europe and U.S. partnership, citing an “increasingly complex” dynamic.

Sequoia China and Sequoia’s Southeast Asian arms will become independent businesses by next year.
