Stephen Curry’s venture firm, Penny Jar Capital, is under fire for investing millions in Zafran Security and Upwind, cybersecurity startups founded by veterans of elite ‘Israeli’ military intelligence units like Unit 8200.
Critics argue these investments—totaling hundreds of millions in funding rounds—conflict with Curry’s role as an NBA social justice champion, accusing the firms of supporting a “digital architecture” used in military surveillance and actions in Gaza.
My point is that these athletes have made enough money to the point where lack of money will never be an issue for them. Steph does not need to invest money in companies involved in apartheid and genocide, if he can’t start a company without giving money to people involved with apartheid and genocide then don’t start thre company. I don’t see what’s contraversal or hard to understand about that?
