Vinod Khosla interview
Arrington interviews Sun Microsystems co-founder Khosla at Startup Weekend about his view of the venture capital industry. Arrington:
You’re a badass dude in general…and if you don’t mind I’d like to spend most of our talk talking about how badass you are.
Khosla says he doesn’t identify as a VC:
I don’t have a very good view of venture capitalists, I refuse to call myself a venture capitalist…I think I’m a venture assistant out here to help entrepreneurs build companies. I’m not in the VC business because to me that means golf and parties.
‘People work too much’
Page says in an interview with Vinod Khosla that people work too much and that technology could allow them to focus more on the things that make them happy:
If you really think about the things you need to make yourself happy — housing, security, opportunity for your kids … it’s not that hard for us to provide those things. The idea that everyone needs to work frantically to meet peoples’ needs is not true.
