Crypto Billionaire and Tech Leaders Fund Effort to Unseat Progressive San Francisco Supervisors
• GrowSF political committee raised $300K in 2022 to defeat SF Supervisor Dean Preston, with 1/3 of money from crypto billionaire Chris Larsen and Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan
• Larsen gave $50K and is now SF's most active political donor, contributing over $1 million toward 2023 elections
• Tan gave $50K but faced backlash over tweet joking about killing progressive supervisors
• Money also came from Twitch and Y Combinator founders and execs, Building Owners and Managers Association
• GrowSF has another committee targeting progressive Supervisor Connie Chan, raising $72K in 2022
