Khosla Ventures is led by Sun Microsystems founder Vinod Khosla, who explicitly optimizes for ~70% failure rates to back "black swan" outcomes and actively seeks opportunities that appear "crazy" to most of the market through non-consensus thinking. The firm focuses on extreme technical risk while avoiding conventional market risk, backing capital-intensive, science-heavy bets across climate, healthcare, and deep tech that software-focused funds historically avoided, with Khosla positioning the firm as a vehicle for aggressive techno-optimism to drive radical societal change.
