Union Square Ventures partner Fred Wilson writes at Inc.: "This is the fourth presidential election during the existence of Union Square Ventures and the first one in which we as a firm feel compelled to endorse a candidate: Hillary Clinton."
This is kind of ironic verging on comical, because Clinton has vowed to overturn the Citizens United Supreme Court decision that found corporate political speech was protected by the First Amendment. So this business — it's a New York City-based venture capital fund — is endorsing a presidential candidate who says businesses shouldn't be allowed to get involved in presidential politics. It looks to me like a double standard, where if you are a conservative or libertarian businessman or business engaging in politics — Koch Industries, or the Koch Brothers — you get demonized, but if you are left-of-center, you get a free pass.
