Vinod Khosla Launches Khosla Ventures
[Via VC Circle] What better way to follow up a post about Kleiner Perkins than with a post on their superstar partner, Vinod Khosla. Khosla, who had reduced his involvement with KPCB, has launched his own VC fund (it’s his personal money, for the time being), called Khosla Ventures, which will invest primarily in alternative energy and clean fuels. As you can see, the website is very much in beta stage, but there are links to some excellent presentations on biofuels and microfinance. Among others papers listed is the Rural Infrastructure Service Commons (RISC) model, which Khosla co-wrote with my friend and colleague, Atanu Dey, and which we tried to implement via Deeshaa Ventures.
