Peter Thiel’s $1.25 million donation to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is driving away partners from Y Combinator, the Silicon Valley accelerator where he is a part-time adviser. Project Include, which works to improve diversity at tech companies, said today that it would no longer work with YC startups. "Thiel’s actions are in direct conflict with our values at Project Include," the group’s co-founder, Ellen Pao, wrote in a Medium post. "Because of his continued connection to YC, we are compelled to break off our relationship with YC."
