How 1,000+ VCs threw support behind Kamala Harris | Shila Nieves Burney interview


More than 1,000 venture capitalists representing more than $276 billion in assets managed have signed a pledge in support of Kamala Harris.

Their effort to get behind Harris as she squares off against Donald Trump has attracted signatories including tech luminaries Mark Cuban, Steve Wozniak, Jesse Draper, Ron Conway, Katie Stanton and Aileen Lee. Her commitment to upholding democratic principles, protecting the rights of all citizens, and fostering innovation that benefits everyone resonates deeply with me and many others in the venture capital community. While I respect their right to their opinions and have met Ben before socially, I fundamentally disagree with the notion that supporting a candidate like Trump, who has repeatedly undermined democratic norms, is in the best interest of our nation or our industry.
