Khosla Ventures pitch deck — what they look for.
Vinod Khosla’s firm; deep tech, climate, healthcare, AI.
What Khosla Ventures actually looks for
Technical risk OK; market risk not. Khosla partners explicitly write that they prefer technical bets over GTM bets.
A 10x+ improvement on something measurable — speed, cost, accuracy, latency.
Founder commitment to a 10-year arc; the firm is hostile to "exit-optimized" framing.
How to format the deck for Khosla Ventures
- 1
Lead the deck with the 10x improvement claim and the proof of it — single slide, big number, citation.
- 2
Skip the polished design; Khosla partners read substance > polish in early-stage decks.
- 3
Include a "what we’ve already de-risked" slide that lists the technical milestones you’ve already crossed.
