GoKawiilKhosla Ventures to open first office outside Silicon Valley in New York this fall
Partner Keith Rabois revealed at TechCrunch's StrictlyVC event that Khosla Ventures is setting up its first-ever satellite office, located on 14th Street in New York, with an expected fall opening. The firm currently has no presence even in San Francisco, making this a significant shift for the Menlo Park-based investor.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The expansion signals that even Sand Hill Road stalwarts see New York as essential to venture capital operations, not just for talent but for corporate connections. Khosla's planned 'executive briefing center,' which will pair portfolio startups with Fortune 500 companies multiple times a week, suggests the firm views New York as a hub for enterprise deal-making rather than just engineering talent.
- Khosla Ventures will open its first office outside California, located in Manhattan, this fall.
- The office will include an 'executive briefing center' connecting portfolio startups with Fortune 500 clients four days a week.
- Partner Keith Rabois relocated to the East Coast to be near his husband and family in Washington, D.C., preceding this expansion.
