Andreessen, Horowitz Latest Tech VCs to Throw Support to Trump
Silicon Valley investors have rallied around the Republican candidate.
Venture capital investors Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz plan to donate a significant amount to Donald Trump’s campaign for president, according to a person familiar with their plans, making the famous VC duo the latest tech investors to throw their support to the Republican.
The leaders of the eponymous Silicon Valley firm Andreessen Horowitz are still evaluating which Trump-affiliated organization or organizations to back and will make the decision shortly, said the person, who asked to remain anonymous discussing private information. The donations will be personal contributions from the two men, not from the firm itself. And they won’t be as substantial as the $45 million a month billionaire Elon Musk has said he will contribute to Trump’s election. Other partners at the firm are also considering making their own contributions, the person said.
