I think I know what you mean, and I disagree. It's an illusion to think that any practice (including tech) is non-partisan -- tech influences policy and policy influences technology. Every company functionally has a political allegiance, even if it's not specifically acknowledged, and the unwillingness of SiV companies to acknowledge this publicly hurts everyone. This doesn't eliminate opportunities, but creates them -- funding a conservative incubator now becomes a potentially viable business plan.
