Khosla Ventures opens first office outside Silicon Valley in New York this fall
Khosla Ventures, known for its base along Sand Hill Road in the Bay Area, is set to open its first office outside of California on Manhattan’s 14th Street by fall. The move marks a significant shift for the firm and includes an executive briefing center where portfolio companies can meet with Fortune 500 firms. The decision follows Keith Rabois’ recent relocation from Menlo Park to New York, driven in part by family reasons. While Rabois acknowledges that junior talent is abundant on the East Coast, he notes challenges in attracting senior executives due to commuting and lifestyle factors. The firm’s strategy includes leveraging local startups like Ramp for talent recruitment. Khosla Ventures joins a small group of Bay Area-based venture firms with New York presences, including Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.
