Keith Rabois, a prominent venture capital investor, has publicly blasted tech companies who take money linked to Saudi Arabia on the grounds that the kingdom discriminates against Jews, gays and women.
Yet among the firms that have benefited from Saudi support is Opendoor, a tech-fueled real estate startup that Rabois helped found in 2014. SoftBank’s Vision Fund, the giant investment pool heavily financed by Saudi Arabia, committed $400 million to the startup last September.
