Khosla Ventures

Technology-based economic disruption of large markets through 'black swan' bets. Khosla Ventures tolerates ~70% failure rates to back capital-intensive, science-heavy opportunities in AI, climate, healthcare, and deep tech. Operates two primary vehicles: a Seed Fund for very early-stage science experiments (initial checks ~$1–2M) and a Main Fund for rounds exceeding $10M across early-to-later stages. Prioritizes non-consensus, contrarian ideas led by founders with domain expertise and unreasonable conviction, providing 'venture assistance' beyond capital.
