More than 200 venture capitalists publicly backed Kamala Harris’ White House bid on Wednesday, saying Silicon Valley and other industries would collapse without “strong, trustworthy institutions.”
Those signing the “VCs for Kamala” pledge include billionaires Mark Cuban, Reid Hoffman and Vinod Khosla, along with industry leaders such as Brook Byers, co-founder of Kleiner Perkins, SV Angel’s Ron Conway and Cowboy Ventures’ Aileen Lee. The group describes itself as “pro-business, pro-American dream, pro-entrepreneurship, and pro-technological progress.”
