I don’t mind failing, but if I succeed it better be worth succeeding for.
Vinod Khosla
It doesn't matter what your probability of failure is. If there's a 90% chance of failure, there's a 10% chance of changing the world.

I do not know what got me interested in technology. What was very clear to me very early on was that I was not interested in religion and that naturally increased my curiosity about science and technology, and I fundamentally believe the two are conflicting.

Vinod Khosla
If I wanted to be a doctor today I'd go to math school not med school.
Vinod Khosla
You have to invent the future you want.
Vinod Khosla
Screw up often but screw up ahead of everybody else, and than learn as much, and than use it to make subsequent investments.
Vinod Khosla
Will biofuel usage require land? Absolutely, but we think the ability to use winter cover crops, degraded land, as well as using sources such as organic waste, sewage, and forest waste means that actual land usage will be limited. Just these sources can replace most of our imported oil by 2030 without touching new land.

Imagine the world of mobile based on Nokia and Motorola if Apple had not been restarted by a missionary entrepreneur named Steve Jobs who cared more for his vision than being tactical and financial.
Vinod Khosla
Spreadsheets are fiction. Believing in what you're doing and what you're building is what's important.
Vinod Khosla
Seeking an acquisition from the start is more than just bad advice for an entrepreneur. For the entrepreneur it leads to short term tactical decisions rather than company-building decisions and in my view often reduces the probability of success.
