A Conversation with Vinod Khosla

An Exclusive Conversation with Vinod Khosla

Some of the most consequential companies begin with ideas the world isn’t ready to believe in.

Stanford ASES welcomes Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, and one of Silicon Valley’s most influential technology investors, for an exclusive fireside conversation at Stanford.

From helping build the foundations of Silicon Valley to making an early, defining bet on OpenAI, Khosla has spent decades backing founders and technologies that challenge conventional wisdom.

In this candid conversation, we’ll explore:

The Future of AI: How artificial intelligence will fundamentally reshape industries, economies, and society.

Building Generational Companies: What separates extraordinary founders from the rest.

The Next Great Opportunities: Which technological frontiers will define the coming decades.

Thinking Against Consensus: Why transformative ideas often look unreasonable before they become inevitable.

Advice for the Next Generation: What ambitious Stanford students should be building today.

In conversation with Shubh Jain, followed by an audience Q&A.
