2 VCs and 0 funds investing in Consumer AI
Partner & Head of Capital Formation
Khosla Ventures
Check: No personal check range is published. Khosla's firm-level Seed and Main Funds span technical experiments through later financings; historical seed commentary cited roughly $1M–$2M. Nicole's additional Capital Formation role should not be read as a disclosed personal check authority.
Nicole backs frontier AI across infrastructure, enterprise, consumer, defense, and biology. Her scientific training in cancer and viral immunology gives her a mechanistic lens for AI–biology convergence, while her founder experience provides a capital-efficient consumer and commercialization perspective. Her named investments—Medal/General Intuition, Highlight, Cellular Intelligence, and Vero—signal interest in world models and embodied intelligence, consumer/enterprise software, biological intelligence, and defense applications.
Partner
Khosla Ventures
Check: Not publicly disclosed. Khosla Ventures uses a Seed Fund for experiments and a Main Fund for early-to-later rounds, including financings above $10M in total round size; round size is not the firm's or Jon's check size.
Jon focuses on how machine learning reshapes the full enterprise stack: core infrastructure, developer tools, and end-user applications. His experience as an early Palantir engineer, infrastructure founder, Docker enterprise leader, growth product executive, core-ML engineering head, and Meta VR/ML leader creates a technical-operator lens on platform adoption and scale. He pairs that with Khosla's preference for proprietary advantages, large markets, fast risk retirement, and category creation.
