📰 What Happened
Khosla Ventures is opening its first office outside Silicon Valley. The new space will be in New York on 14th Street and is expected to open this fall. Investor Keith Rabois shared the news at a TechCrunch event in the city.
Rabois said the firm does not even have a San Francisco office, so this is a big step for it. The office will hold a few Khosla investors, including him.
Its most unusual feature is an "executive briefing center." There, Khosla will bring 10 or 12 of its startup companies at a time to meet a Fortune 500 company, four days a week.
🔍 The Backstory
Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park, California, is famous as the home of many large venture capital firms. Khosla Ventures has been based there for years. It was founded by Vinod Khosla, who also helped start Sun Microsystems.
Rabois moved to the East Coast months ago to be closer to his husband, Jacob Helberg, a US State Department official, and their children.
New York's tech scene has grown a lot. More investors are opening offices there to be near banks, media companies, and startup founders.
🎯 Why It Matters
