His son, Benjamin Horowitz, co-founder of the Capital-Risque company Andreessen Horowitz, shared a necrology on social media highlighting his career in the media and activism, including several books he wrote and his approval from President Donald Trump.
When the youngest Horowitz met Trump last year, he spoke to the president of his father.
“The face of President Trump immediately lit and he insisted that Benjamin immediately put David on the phone,” reads in the Bill. “Hospitalized and weak, David was still delighted to speak with the president.”
