Keen On Vinod Khosla: Ive Failed More Times Than Ive Succeeded (TCTV)
As the co-founder of Daisy Systems, the founding CEO of Sun Microsystems, a general partner at Kleiner Perkins and the founder of Khosla Ventures, there are few men who appear to have failed less than the legendary Vinod Khosla. And yet, when I caught up with Khosla after he keynoted yesterdays excellentFailCon conference in San Francisco, he confessed to me that hed failed more times than he succeeded.Failure, of course, was the theme of the day at FailCon. And Khosla had much else to say about failure arguing that the teachers in American schools are all failures and suggesting that all experts are full of crap. In Khoslas mind, I suspect, whats so interesting about failure is that you have to experience it in order to be successful. And thats why, he told me, the success of technology entrepreneurs like Jack Dorsey and Max Levchin is dependent on their earlier failures.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/2eEXE7Rdi6I/
