DESCRIPTION
Stanford ASES is excited to welcome Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures and co-founder of Sun Microsystems, for an exclusive fireside chat at Stanford.
One of Silicon Valley's most influential investors, Vinod has spent decades backing ambitious founders and transformative technologies, including an early investment in OpenAI.
In a candid conversation, we'll explore:
- The future of AI: Where the biggest opportunities lie over the next decade.
- Building great companies: What separates exceptional founders from everyone else.
- The next frontier: Which industries and problems are ripe for transformation.
- Thinking big: Lessons on ambition, risk, conviction, and long-term thinking.
- Advice for Stanford students: What the next generation of entrepreneurs should be building.
The conversation will be led by Shubh Jain, followed by an audience Q&A.
