The election is (finally) over, but what’s been the venture capital reaction to Donald Trump’s victory?

According to CNBC, Silicon Valley venture capitals say Trump’s victory is “like a funeral.”

The tech community, many who were attending the Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal, were shocked and the conference mood had changed drastically from Tuesday to Wednesday.

“It’s like a funeral,” one attendee told CNBC, who wished to remain anonymous because they didn’t want to give a political view.
