Two of the biggest names in Silicon Valley are reportedly planning to throw cash behind groups supporting Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, who founded the venture-capital firm that bears both of their names, are preparing donations to political action committees, or PACs, that support Trump's latest bid for the White House, The Information reported on Tuesday.
The pair have shared their plans with employees at the firm, the report said. It would mark the first time that both men have expressed support for Trump.
The exact PACs that Andreessen and Horowitz plan to support and the exact amounts they plan to donate were unclear. Andreessen Horowitz did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider on the report.
Supporting Trump would mark a clear change from eight years ago for at least one of the men. In 2016, Andreessen told Bloomberg he planned to vote for Hillary Clinton instead of Trump in that year's presidential election.
When pressed about why, he responded, "Is that a serious question?" He cited her stances on issues including immigration and science.
Other major figures in the tech world have expressed support for Trump this summer.
Elon Musk endorsed Trump after Saturday's assassination attempt on the former president. Musk is also reportedly planning to donate $45 million each month to a pro-Trump PAC.
