- JD Vance co-founded Narya Capital in 2020, inspired by JRR Tolkien's 'rings of power' and Peter Thiel's influence. - Thiel's financial backing helped Vance launch Narya and later win a US Senate seat in 2022, with Trump recently naming Vance as his VP pick. - Narya Capital has invested in right-leaning platforms like Rumble and Anduril Industries, reflecting a libertarian alignment with Trump's MAGA base. - Vance's venture capital career and political rise have been supported by tech figures like Elon Musk and Blake Masters, another Thiel protégé. - Vance's stance on tech policy includes support for 'little tech' start-ups, cryptocurrency, and reforming Section 230, while opposing Big Tech monopolies.
