Gore and Powell
EAST ST. LOUIS – Two antitrust suits at U.S. district court would void contracts throughout North America so Farmers Business Network (FBN) of San Carlos, Calif. can sell seeds and chemicals online.

A primary investor of FBN is a California-based venture capital firm, where former vice-president Al Gore serves as senior partner and former Secretary of State Colin Powell serves as strategic advisor. The firm, Kleiner Perkins, has offices in San Francisco and Shanghai.
