Keith Rabois
PayPal Mafia executive (EVP business development). COO at Square. VP corporate development at LinkedIn. Co-founder of Opendoor and Ethos Life. Managing director at Khosla Ventures. Early investor in Stripe, Palantir, Airbnb, YouTube, DoorDash, and Ramp.
Known for contrarian positions on talent and culture: public criticism over psychological safety, refusing customer interviews in favour of observational data, and treating talent assessment as the single most leveraged skill a founder can develop. Works entirely from iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad — no laptop since September 2010.
