Venture Capital Market: Khosla Ventures Opens First New York Office on 14th Street
Khosla Ventures, a prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firm, is expanding to New York with its first office outside Sand Hill Road. The new outpost on 14th Street is expected to open this fall, according to partner Keith Rabois. The office will house several investors and feature an 'executive briefing center' where portfolio companies can meet with Fortune 500 companies. Rabois discussed talent density in New York, noting strong junior talent but challenges in hiring senior executives due to commuting. The move follows his relocation to the East Coast and comes as a CBRE report shows New York overtaking the Bay Area in tech talent headcount.
