Here's how Ron Conway wants his companies to vote in San Francisco's election

Legendary venture capitalist Ron Conway has a few ideas about how his portfolio companies should vote.

In an e-mail sent out to his SV Angel investments, and first published by Pando Daily, Conway advises his companies to keep incumbent mayor Ed Lee in the city's top spot.

But there's no disclosure of how certain ballot measures directly affect his portfolio or even explanations on why he's recommending them.

For instance, Conway advises voting against Prop F, an initiative to limit the sharing economy in San Francisco, which is aimed straight at Conway's portfolio company Airbnb.

There's nothing illegal about the email - Mitt Romney advised business owners to do the same in his 2012 presidential campaign.

At the very least, the published email shows how one of the city's biggest political donors is planning to vote:
