Y Combinator embodies the very definition of capitalism, and they host this site. While the community seems more diverse than that, its fair to say there is a capitalist bent.

Y Combinator also donates to efficient non-profits in the tech space, no strings attached. That's not traditionally capitalistic.

Philanthropy is a lot harder without capitalism. "I should be the one who decides where the money I worked so hard to make gets donated." Besides, it's good advertising.
