Ask HN: Founders/Employees of companies that got Saudi money directly/indirectly

3 pointsby matdehaastover 6 years ago
How do founders and employees of startups that have received investment from Saudi Arabia wealth fund,directly or indirectly ie Soft bank, feel about the source of their investment? Especially after the current events that happened in Turkey, where it appears Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in the embassy.<p>I personally would not be able to reconcile my moral compass with working on projects that were potentially enriching the regime.

Why should this be the breaking point rather than many other things that happened in the past? Like the school bus, or Mastaba market bombing, or whatever.<p>I&#x27;m not saying it shouldn&#x27;t. I just don&#x27;t get why this is so special, or more serious than other stuff Saudis were&#x2F;are doing.
