Letters from Silicon Valley - Tony Blair, the newest VC.

By Andrew McCalister on May 25, 10 02:23 AM in

Tony Blair, the ex-Prime Minister, has just been announced as the newest addition to Khosla Ventures as a senior adviser.

Khosla are one of the more prominent venture capital firms in the Valley with companies like Boku and Xobni in their portfolio.

Why would this marriage occur you may ask... rather simple, it's a win-win situation.

Khosla get his contact book and big name to push through the larger clean tech deals.

Tony gets a warm feeling inside helping to save the world one investment at a time....and a rather large pay packet I presume.
