I stopped following their investments in like 2015 after they funded a startup that makes vegan condoms, whatever that is.

Vegan condoms and sex toys are made without casein or other animal-based byproducts. Fun fact: a lot [2] of consumer goods use animal-based byproducts either as technical agents (e.g. beer that's being filtered through fish bladders) or as outright ingredients (shampoo, perfume, ...).
