Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t had any trouble raising money — in fact, she has raked in $1 billion in fewer than three months. And though some of her money comes from grassroots donors, billionaires and private sector leaders have dumped eye-popping sums into her campaign.

Venture capitalists were among some of the earliest tech moguls to organize behind Harris, even as the once decidedly liberal Silicon Valley splinters this election. As figures like Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, and David Sacks publicly backed former President Donald Trump, a group of powerful venture capitalists combined forces to declare their support for Harris through an effort dubbed “VCsForKamala.”

By late August, more than 800 venture capitalists pledged to vote and solicit donations for Harris through the group’s website. According to one of the organizers, the original signatories represent a combined $150 billion in assets under management. The current signatories represent a combined $276 billion, according to the group’s founders.

“We are pro-business, pro-American dream, pro-entrepreneurship, and pro-technological progress,” reads a statement on the VCsForKamala’s website. “We also believe in democracy as the backbone of our nation.”

Harris, who was born in Oakland, has garnered support from dozens of leaders in her backyard supportive of her pro-business policies. In September, the effort by business and tech leaders stretched from coast to coast. A group of 88 prominent Wall Street and tech executives jointly signed a letter endorsing Harris, writing that she is “the best way to support continued strength, security, and reliability of our democracy and economy.” The leaders also celebrated her support for small businesses. And in October, private sector titans banned together to launch “Business Leaders for Harris,” an effort to woo more conservative-leaning voters by emphasizing Harris’ economic strengths.

Here are some of the biggest names on the VCsForKamala list and recent letter of corporate leaders.
