Fund History
- Vinod Khosla founded Khosla Ventures in Menlo Park in 2004 with Samir Kaul and David Weiden, initially deploying his own capital before opening to outside limited partners.
- The firm now runs parallel seed, core venture and growth vehicles rather than a single flagship line, and the seed series has reached at least its seventh lettered vehicle.
- Khosla Ventures VIII is a 2023 vintage early-stage fund; the firm went to market in January 2023 targeting $3 billion and closed that year at roughly that figure.
- In February 2025 it began raising $3.5 billion across three funds, 17 percent above the 2023 haul, with about half earmarked for the ninth core venture fund, $1.1 billion for a later-stage growth fund and $650 million for seed.
- By July 2026 Bloomberg reported the firm in talks to raise $5.5 billion in new funds.
- Total assets under management exceed $15 billion across the seed, venture and growth lines, and the separation of those vehicles is deliberate: it lets the firm write small first cheques into technically improbable companies without the seed strategy being crowded out by the size of the core fund.
