Well, I, for one, have tried to avoid companies funded by Khosla Ventures since this story initially broke. I doubt a lot of people feel strongly enough to do that, but there are some.



Given that I had never heard of the company until this post, I was surprised by how many companies I've heard of that they funded. From their portfolio page[1]:

Academia.edu, AppNexus, Arista Networks, DoorDash, GitLab, HackerRank, Impossible Foods, Instacart, "Just, Inc.", Scribd, Square, Stripe, Teespring, Vox Media

Indeed. Square and Stripe are tough to avoid if you want to do payments, and I'm not terribly happy that my current company pays money to HackerRank (also GitLab, I think). Other than that, I've done a pretty good job avoiding KV.
