Silicon Valley icon Vinod Khosla: What kind of Seattle Seahawks owner will he be?

from GeekWire · host GeekWire

This week: Silicon Valley legend Vinod Khosla's family is leading a group that's buying the Seattle Seahawks for a record $9.6 billion. We dug into hours of his talks and interviews to answer the big questions: Who is this guy, why does he want an NFL team, and what does his track record tell us about the kind of owner he'll be? Plus, the blind spot that could get him into trouble. Featuring highlights from his 2015 talk at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Also: A mystery trove of aerospace artifacts is rescued from a Seattle-area electronics recycler, and we want to hear about your coolest tech history find. Send your comments, voice memos and photos to [email protected].
