Five tech firms backed by Thrive Capital — whose 35-year-old, Harvard-educated founder Joshua Kushner is married to supermodel Karlie Kloss, and who runs the firm out of the landmark Puck Building in Manhattan’s trendy SoHo neighborhood — have snagged at least $2.8 million from the Trump administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, federal data show.

Government watchdog group Accountable.US claimed that the fact that the startups snagged funds showed that the Trump administration managed to “pervert a program meant for struggling small businesses into another vehicle for enriching the wealthy and well-connected.”

Noting Joshua Kushner’s family ties, the handouts to startups “just happened to work to the benefit of people connected to the White House in more ways than one,” Accountable.US President Kyle Herrig told The Post.
