The backers:
> By Monday of last week, Benchmark had found four additional investors to sign the letter, including First Round Capital; Lowercase Capital; Menlo Ventures and Fidelity Investments, according to people familiar with the matter. Benchmark’s Mr. Gurley attempted to get other board members to sign, but at least one refused out of reluctance over being represented by Mr. Gurley, according to one person with knowledge of the matter.
- andybg 9y agoFirst Round Capital signing this is amazing to me - especially since it doesn't look like it required them too to make this happen. Sort of expected the others too but not them.
