Helping the entrepreneurs we invest in build iconic companies. We're fortunate to have invested in companies such as Amazon, Electronic Arts, Genentech, Google, Figma, Nest, Netscape, JD.com, Nest, Spotify, Slack, Beyond Meat, Chegg, Facebook, Peloton, Snap, Ring, Twitter, Square, Airbnb, Pinterest, Doordash, Figma, Coursera, Stripe, and Uber. Along the way I started the KPCB Fellows Program (www.kpcbfellows.com), which provides fellowships for the brightest design, engineering, and product-minded students across the country with our companies. Each year we receive thousands of applicants and it's harder to get into the KPCB Fellows Program than Harvard Business School - we accept less than 4% of applicants. Fun fact, I read every single submission. KPCB Fellows have gone on to start some amazing companies like Figma, Opensea, Persona, and Retool. To date, these companies have a market value of $50B.
