Just months after stepping down as head of the nation’s largest civil rights organization, former NAACP president Jealous is changing his career from an East Coast political activist to a West Coast venture capitalist, a switch he hopes will help him further his goal of growing opportunities for blacks and Latinos in the booming tech economy. The Northern California native and self-confessed computer geek will be joining entrepreneurs Mitchell Kapor and Freada Kapor Klein at their venture capital investment firm which backs information technology start-ups that are committed to making a positive social impact.
