A San Francisco-based venture capital fund founded by the son of Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive is apologizing after facing online flack for requiring potential employees to take an IQ test as part of the job application process.

Aneel Ranadive, the founder of the firm Soma Capital, told Motherboard that he had not approved the inclusion of an IQ test in job applications and asked the team to remove it after finding out, calling it “frickin’ heartbreaking.”
