    Acerca de

    Vinod Khosla launched his eponymous venture capital firm in 2004 after selling his stake in Sun Microsystems. Based in Menlo Park, California, the company operates with a distinct philosophy of backing early-stage entrepreneurs who disrupt high-growth sectors. The firm manages approximately $15 billion in assets as of 2021 and recently announced plans to raise its largest fund ever, potentially reaching $5.5 billion, with a heavy concentration on early-stage artificial intelligence startups.

    The investment portfolio spans diverse industries including AI, climate technology, sustainability, enterprise software, consumer tech, fintech, and healthcare. Notable investments include OpenAI, Impossible Foods, Instacart, Affirm, DoorDash, and Square. In late September 2026, Khosla Ventures expanded its infrastructure investing capabilities by hiring Tal Broda, an executive formerly from OpenAI, signaling a strategic pivot toward deep-tech and foundational AI layers.

    While historically based solely on Sand Hill Road, the firm opened its first New York office in Fall 2026, marking its first physical outpost outside of Silicon Valley. Beyond traditional venture capital, Khosla Ventures has diversified into sports ownership. In July 2026, a group led by Khosla agreed to purchase the Seattle Seahawks for approximately $9.6 billion, expanding his influence beyond technology into professional sports.
