Ron Conway, a well-known venture capitalist and founder of SV Angel, has resigned from the Salesforce Foundation after a public disagreement with CEO Marc Benioff. The conflict arose after Benioff expressed his support for President Trump and suggested that National Guard troops should patrol the streets of San Francisco. Conway, who has served on the board for a decade, was reportedly upset by Benioff's comments, which he felt were out of step with their previously shared political views. The Salesforce Foundation has been active in supporting education and workforce development for disadvantaged youth, donating $36 million in 2023. This resignation highlights the ideological shifts occurring within the tech industry, as many leaders who once aligned with Democratic values are now expressing support for Trump.
