Many of you know Vinod as a co-founder of Sun Microsystems and a partner at Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers before founding Khosla Ventures. His wife, Neeru, is an accomplished philanthropist, while Murugan is a serial entrepreneur who most recently found SpikeSource after a stint as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at KPCB. Together, they will discuss their vision for CK12 as well as take questions from the audience.

This event took place January 17, 2008 at Google Headquarters in Mountain View, CA.
