Andreessen Horowitz founders endorse Trump—'the future of our business...is literally at stake'
They fear an anti-capitalist wing of Biden's party threatens to wipe out innovative startups that fuel America's economic growth.

2) they made a very bold slippery slope argument that you can just make as much money at Google as if you started your own company ( and made 100 million dollars) lol. A very 🍌 banana stand moment

a16z has always been toxic, it just used to pay to pretend to care about democracy.

😔 I also don’t predict any founders would refuse investor money 💰 even if you knew the money was coming from people who support these ideals

i don't think that's true. i don't think that it's a majority, but there are definitely people who will stick to their morals and aren't willing to get in bed with the morally bankrupt

I used to run a scholarship program for women working on OSS (similar to Outreachy) & we definitely had to make hard decisions about whether to take certain types of money. Not the same obvi but.. just supporting Jedmund’s point that there are still people with morals out there💜
