Is Vinod Khosla the true power behind the Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield and Byers throne? I tend to think you can't give one member of a team too much credit (and yes that goes for John Doerr, too), so I'd personally say no. However, you have to give Mr. Khosla credit. He's been pretty savvy with some of his investments and even his flops have at least hit the right market sector (if only a little bit ahead of its time - such as with pen based computers). One peculiar investment of his in my mind is Zaplets. I can't decide whether it'll be a profitable company or if it's just a pre-correction idea waiting to die?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
