Khosla Ventures is reportedly seeking up to $5.5 billion for new investment vehicles, the largest fundraising effort in its 20-year history.
The firm plans to channel $3 billion into seed and early-stage startups, underscoring its conviction in the next generation of AI companies.
Founded by Vinod Khosla, the venture firm was OpenAI’s first outside investor and has backed AI startups including Cognition, Sakana AI, and Physical Intelligence.
Khosla Ventures is in discussions to raise as much as $5.5 billion across its newest set of funds, according to a Bloomberg report, which would make it the largest fundraising event in the firm’s twenty-year history, though the people familiar with the matter cautioned the numbers could still shift as talks continue.
The venture fund is looking at $1 billion for seed-stage startups and $2 billion for early-stage ventures, with a separate $2.5 billion opportunity fund earmarked for more mature companies, per Bloomberg.
