> Khosla is not a paragon of founder-friendliness despite his public attestations

There's no evidence he hasn't been anything but. I choose to trust him. If I had to choose between a VC leaving a company and the founder CEO leaving, I'd rather the VC left which is the mantra that Khosla advocates for. Before you say the VCs money is at stake, remember also the founders' and employees' sweat equity is also at stake - you can always make more money, but when time is gone, you can't recover it.

A VC's reputation is privately held data. The same for a founder's reputation. Public data is largely useless.

And there is, of course, evidence that Khosla is not 100% founder-friendly, as there is data for every other VC and every other founder out there. Every conflict is gray.

But choose as you wish, of course. That's capitalism.
