Reuters – Khosla Ventures Hires Condoleezza Rice

Khosla Ventures, the venture firm founded by Sun Microsystems co-founder Vinod Khosla, said it had retained former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her consulting firm as strategic advisers. The move points to the growing importance venture firms attach to helping their portfolio companies with policy and regulations. Khosla partner Samir Kaul said he and Rice first got to know each other while serving on the board of biomass fuels company KiOR.
