a16z co-founders pledge to support Trump in wake of Vance VP pick: Report

Numerous Silicon Valley insiders are reportedly donating to the Republican presidential nominee.

Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, co-founders of prolific crypto venture investor a16z, plan to make large donations in support of former United States President Donald Trump’s bid for the White House, according to a Tuesday report by The Information.

The announcement, which the co-founders reportedly shared with a16z employees in an internal email, comes in the wake of Trump’s selection of Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his Vice Presidential nominee. Neither of the co-founders previously disclosed which candidate they planned to support in the November U.S. presidential elections.

Andreessen and Horowitz are among an expanding roster of venture capitalists and technology executives to come out in favor of Trump by donating to America PAC, a pro-Trump political action committee, according to a report by the Financial Times. The PAC has reportedly raised almost $9 million so far from Silicon Valley insiders.
