Matthew Prince: Venture capital bias seen in Cloudflare's early funding experiences
Cloudflare faced venture bias hurdles

Cloudflare co-founder Matthew Prince has recounted negative early experiences with venture capital, citing bias in the industry. In a recent social media post, Prince shared that an investor declined to support Cloudflare because of doubts about a woman leading a security infrastructure business. He also recalled a notable meeting set for Monday with a prominent investor, alluding to challenges in the fundraising process. Prince's comments draw attention to persistent diversity and inclusion issues within the technology investment community.

Prince has previously discussed regulatory barriers in the tech industry, saying that NVIDIA’s blocked purchase of Arm appears more significant in retrospect. He has also called for AI regulation to ensure fair competition for Google. These comments reflect Prince’s ongoing focus on leadership and rules within the technology sector.
