As a former YC admit and current Partner at Khosla Ventures, I'm happy to review YC apps and help! I don't have time for everyone, but DM me your application and I'll try to give some feedback.
There's plenty of opportunity in Japan and especially for @SakanaAILabs.

Excited to welcome Yoneda Labs to the KV portfolio as they build the “OpenAI for chemistry”🧪 “The team at Yoneda Labs has a novel approach to creating a foundation model for chemistry that could change the way chemicals are manufactured and improve the drug discovery process.”…
Excited to be investing in @ScottWu46 and the @cognition_labs team to bring Devin, the first AI software engineer, to the world. We've used Devin for all sorts of engineering tasks and are blown away by its potential. @nikitabase
Sometimes, a founder and product just blow you away. Excited to be an investor in @cognition_labs and lucky to have been part of the team to make this happen. Looking forward to working closer with you @ScottWu46!

RIP Columbia. The Ivy caves to protestors and is going full remote. If you're a student and you don't transfer to another university, this either means you aren't savvy enough to realize you're being screwed or not capable enough to get in elsewhere. 🙁 nytimes.com/2024/04/22/us/…
I've coinvested with @Lux_Capital and we love working with them at Khosla. The fact that @wolfejosh and @bznotes can hold opposing views and still enjoy working with each other is why they're both class acts and is an example of how all of us should behave.

I've seen so many leaders fail to understand this all the way to VPs at FANG. You may not be a domain expert, but you can test for high quality inputs. This is why @VSwordH is world class and we love working with him at KV

Hot take: flat taxes like Singapore would be more progressive and a net positive for the US. I bet the top 0.1% ends up paying more with flat tax and we can do away with all the corrupt "tax breaks." And how much will GDP increase when we work instead of waste time on taxes?
Jokingly agreed you should never pitch associates, so everyone started pitching me yesterday instead. Ended up responding, reading, and giving everyone feedback. Final tally: 56 total pitches 14 deeper dives over DM 3 followup Zooms and potential investments!
Glad to be an investor and working with George and @symbolica. George blew me away when I met him a year ago and has remained one of my favorite founders in the KV portfolio. reuters.com/technology/sym…

@hamadmj @heyjchu @Lux_Capital @wolfejosh @bznotes Hitler doesn’t have a valid perspective. And Hamas is worse.
@jonwu_ Hard pass on this founder and it shouldn't be controversial. Why would anyone want to work for a guy who cares less about his company than his employees?
@martin_casado This is what happens when you hire the business cofounder who doesn't really understand the tech.
@nealkhosla how do we make it happen?
@heyjchu Maybe convince him that the best founders will be there and will talk to him about their startups

@heyjchu @Katie_Roof Seattle clearly #2 for tech talent. Startup metrics are mostly vanity metrics. NYC is only #2 in dollars which mostly go to fintech “startups” many of which are just PE plays in disguise.

@clairlemon Prediction: this will be a popular way for the less intelligent students to satisfy the math requirement.
When I starting investing in 2013, venture capital didn’t seem to make sense Almost no one had really IPO’d, and even the very best that did were only worth ~$1B (HubSpot, Shopify, Box) Then it seemed easier, and then by 2021, Easy Today, it almost doesn’t make sense again
@heyjchu Haha. Keen to hear more. Already invested with the KV team before. Albeit a large seed lol
@heyjchu Can vouch... Actually good feedback
@parkerconrad @martin_casado The data probably supports that, but I imagine it's more a result of GPs taking comparatively fewer meetings and only meeting with founders they know (or who have strong referrals) vs an associate meeting more companies with a slightly lower bar. Would be interesting to see how…
