More than 500 venture capitalists have signed a pledge revealed Wednesday to support Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for president, building a “VCs for Kamala” list that now represents billions of dollars in personal wealth and managed capital.
The coalition emerged even as outspoken supporters of Donald Trump like Elon Musk and David Sacks push the narrative that Silicon Valley is behind the former president — and just two weeks after Musk and Sacks rejoiced over the pick of J.D. Vance for Trump’s running mate.
“Add your name and firm to be a part of this pledge,” the Google form for the “VCs for Kamala” list said. “Let’s show founders that not all VCs have turned MAGA.”
The list includes titans of Bay Area venture capital like Greylock’s Reid Hoffman, a major Harris donor, and Khosla Ventures’ Vinod Khosla, who sparred with Musk on X about the election in July. Entrepreneur and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban also signed on, as did longtime investor Ron Conway, Kleiner Perkins founding partner Brook Byers and Cowboy Ventures’ Aileen Lee, who created the term “unicorn” for billion-dollar startups.
The “VCs for Kamala” site called the signers “pro-business, pro-American dream, pro-entrepreneurship, and pro-technological progress.” It says the tech industry “would collapse” without trustworthy institutions, and the site, along with encouraging readers to sign the pledge, links to a donation portal for Harris’ presidential campaign.
Investor Leslie Feinzaig, of the Graham & Walker Venture Fund, began the list, the site says, after seeing “countless venture capital power players announce their support for Donald Trump.” Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, the co-founders of Menlo Park venture powerhouse Andreessen Horowitz, were among the outspoken pro-Trump investors.

Viet Cong?
Article doesn’t mention Harris spent years in Canada.
And they are down to seeds and stems again too.
Crony Capitalists for Kamala!
when Biden chose Harris as VP, FakeNewsMSM had tons of stuff like the following:
12 Aug 2020: NYT: What Kamala Harris Means for Wall Street and Silicon Valley
A V.P. pick that big business can back
Joe Biden has selected Senator Kamala Harris of California as his vice-presidential running mate. On Monday, we wrote about how Mr. Biden was gaining traction among crucial donors in Big Finance and Big Tech. His pick for V.P. looks to have strengthened that support.
Wall Street is happy about the signal it sends...
12 Aug 2020: WSJ: Silicon Valley Sees Kamala Harris as One of Its Own
That was my first thought too.
I was thinking that ALL living Viet Cong (and NVA) are probably for Commiela.
Useful idiots
That was my question.
“More than 500 venture capitalists have signed a pledge revealed Wednesday to support Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for president, building a “VCs for Kamala” list that now represents billions of dollars in personal wealth and managed capital.”
Whenever liberals do something like this, it means they have nothing to run on and are trying to use “More than 500” as their narrative. We are a nation of 350 million, so 500 in a field where there are thousands of VC’s is meaningless.
they are right. but. the smart ones did go maga.
what does that make them?
AKA fascists.
I would love to see a picture of this lily white group.
EC
Krupp and I.G. Farben types.
Are these homeless folk the Harris Committee is paying to identify as venture capitalists?
“And they are down to seeds and stems again too.”
Long time since I heard that expression. LOL.
“Bay Area” = Kamela owners.
Kamela is a Californian...... there is no worse description
