Co-founding Opendoor — the iBuying pioneer that went public via SPAC at a $4.8 billion valuation — while seeding early rounds in Airbnb, Stripe, Palantir, and Lyft makes Rabois one of Silicon Valley's most consequential builder-investor combinations.
Keith Rabois is a Managing Director at Khosla Ventures and one of the most prolific technology investors and serial entrepreneurs in America.
Rabois co-founded Opendoor, the online real estate marketplace that pioneered the iBuying model-where companies buy homes directly from sellers using algorithmic pricing. Opendoor went public in 2020 through a SPAC at a valuation of $4.8 billion. Earlier in his career, Rabois held executive positions at PayPal, LinkedIn, Slide, and Square, and was a key member of what became known as the "PayPal Mafia." As a venture investor, he has been involved in early rounds of some of the most successful tech companies of the past two decades, including Airbnb, Lyft, Palantir, Stripe, Square, YouTube, and Yelp. He teaches at Stanford Graduate School of Business and has trained a generation of operators now running major technology companies. His dual track as both an accomplished entrepreneur (Opendoor) and one of the most successful venture investors in Silicon Valley gives him a uniquely influential position in the American startup ecosystem.
