News Summary

• Ron Conway, the founder of venture firm SV Angel, has resigned from the Salesforce Foundation, the New York Times reported.
• The resignation follows Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff saying last week that he “fully supported” President Trump.
• The rift unfolded during Salesforce’s Dreamforce conference, one of the largest events held annually in San Francisco.
• Neither Salesforce nor Conway immediately responded to a request for comment.“It saddens me immensely to say that with your recent comments, and failure to understand their impact, I now barely recognize the person I have so long admired,” Conway wrote on Thursday.
