Khosla Ventures is a venture capital firmrun by people who listen to, analyze, and advise entrepreneurs. They manage a main fund that supports early- and late-stage investments and a seed fund for developing very early-stage experiments. They focus on next-generation energy projects, new materials, mobility, the Internet and silicon 
technology. The firm was established in 2004 by VinodKhosla, who helped turn a computer science project into Sun Microsystems, a multibillion-dollar phenomenon
At Khosla, several sectors are of particular interest, especially alternative energy, energy efficiency, storage, materials, and other unconventional areas. Their seed fund consists of "science or innovation experiments" and other almost risks, be they in information technology or cleantech. Their main fund looks at more traditional ventures, from early to later stages in all areas of technology.
Join us for a one-hour presentation on how entrepreneurs and startups can work directly with Khosla Ventures and become part of their dynamic portfolio.
