About

Khosla Ventures is a seed and later stage venture capital firm focused on technology-enabled companies with huge potential. Fundamentally, we are looking for 'black swan' ideas or a significantly better mousetrap. High impact innovation with significant upside. Big markets and short innovation cycles. At the seed stage we look for crazy ideas addressing well articulated problems. We look for companies with unfair advantages - be it science, IP, business-model innovation or a partnership. At later stages, we expect to see more progress. The problem the company is solving should now be clearly identifiable in one sentence. The market size and potential should be identified using bottom-up analysis. There should be a clear go-to-market strategy.

Uncork Capital

Uncork Capital is one of the most active seed investors in Silicon Valley, having made more than 200 companies and successfully exited more than 60. Unlike many investors, we have and will continue to invest in hardware and frontier/deep technology (e.g. space, robotics, AR/VR). Although we focus on seed investing, we have a separate fund that pursues follow-on investments into mature, existing portfolio companies. We stay deeply involved with the founding team throughout the most intense period of a company's life. The early years. As new investors join the board, we transition out to make room. Even then, we remain supportive and available to the team for the whole journey, no matter what the outcome. What do we look for? Outliers and outperformers who use technology to solve real problems for real people and real businesses. Products or services that are differentiated and special. You should be obsessed with the idea and uniquely qualified to build and scale it. The sector you are targeting should be large enough to support a few public companies. Uncork Capital was previously known as SoftTech until its name change in 2017.
