Daniel Penny, who was acquitted in the high-profile case surrounding Jordan Neely’s death, has secured a new position at the prominent venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. According to sources, Penny is set to work at the firm’s Learn business, which focuses on education and investment opportunities in the tech sector. This move comes after Penny faced significant public scrutiny and legal challenges related to the incident involving Neely on a New York City subway in May 2023. Following the trial, where he was found not guilty of manslaughter charges, Penny expressed his relief over the verdict, stating, ‘I am grateful for the justice system and for the support of my family and friends through this ordeal.’ Andreessen Horowitz, known for its investment in technology and innovation, will benefit from Penny’s insights gained from his past experiences. The firm, co-founded by Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, has backed numerous successful tech startups and continues to play a significant role in shaping the investment landscape. Critics and supporters alike are watching Penny’s career trajectory closely, as his past actions and the subsequent verdict have sparked widespread debate on self-defense laws and public safety.
