Why do so many startup founders support Kamala? Isn't she "too progressive?" I think about this word progressive, taken from "progress"—the belief in moving forward and building better things. Conservatism is from "conservative"—staying the same or moving back. Founders often create startups *specifically because* they believe in progress. They are mostly optimistic and imagine a better future they want to make real. Progress is literally in startup founder DNA, so 🥥 🌴 feels values-aligned.
