Meet the Venture Capitalists · Firm Profile
Khosla Ventures
Runs seed, early and growth funds with a single investing team across all three. Publishes the clearest stage-by-stage criteria of any firm in this directory.
Criteria: Black swan ideas or a significantly better mousetrap, high impact innovation with significant upside, big markets and short innovation cycles. At seed: crazy ideas addressing well articulated problems, plus an unfair advantage, defined as science, intellectual property, business model innovation, or a partnership. At later stages: the problem identifiable in one sentence, market size established by bottom-up analysis, and a clear go-to-market strategy. Sectors include AI, climate, enterprise, consumer, fintech, digital health, medtech, therapeutics and frontier technology.
What this means for your pitchUse their stage ladder as a self-test whoever you approach. If you cannot yet state the problem in one sentence and size the market from the bottom up, you are a seed story rather than a Series B story.
