Not the former VC, but an active venture capitalist: https://kvinogradov.com. I earn money by investing in open source / AI / infra software startups, and I spend money by donating to nonprofit open source projects :-)

Also, it is not a VC who run things, but the team which consists of people with diverse backgrounds (founders/executives/devs x OSS/nonprofit) and the donor community (which everybody can join): https://endowment.dev/community/

It's the VC "class", similar to the Epstein Class, nowhere near as bad or vile, but have definitely been one of the primary reasons the wealth gap and inequality have risen and continue to rise

With your strong feelings against VC, I hope you are aware that HN is the message board of one of the leading VC firms?

> but have definitely been one of the primary reasons the wealth gap and inequality have risen and continue to rise

That's a pretty big leap you are doing there.
