Who Are My Investors?
Pretty much every single comment so far is cynical. &quot;No one really wants to know how the sausage is made&quot;, lots of money is tainted anyway, it&#x27;s just PR fluff, etc etc. The classic HN Middlebrow Dismissal in full effect.<p>Counterpoint: cynicism is too easy. Actually giving a shit is harder, it&#x27;s uncomfortable, it involves compromise.<p>Yes, if you refuse investment from any country that has ever violated a human right, you will raise $0. But that doesn&#x27;t mean all money is created equal, or that Fred Wilson&#x27;s effort here isnt worthwhile.<p>He&#x27;s simply calling for VCs to a) refuse money from the worst offenders and b) be transparent about who their LPs are. He&#x27;s also calling on startups, founders, engineers etc to demand this transparency, to care who they ultimately working for.<p>It&#x27;s a simple ask.
