| Intent | State | Route | Note | Evidence |

| Pitch | human_only | kv@khoslaventures.com via official contact page | Contact page says founders investing earliest, pre-seed/seed to Series A, should explore thesis and portfolio before reaching out; only direct email and phone are published, no application form or portal. | www.khoslaventures.com/contact checked 2026-11-01 |
| Diligence | human_only | — | No published diligence checklist, template, required metrics or data-room guidance found on official pages checked; evaluation is via partner contact only. | www.khoslaventures.com/contact checked 2026-11-01 |
| Schedule | human_only | Email or phone via official contact page | No public self-serve booking, office-hours or event route found; only email, phone and Menlo Park address are published. | www.khoslaventures.com/contact checked 2026-11-01 |
| Track | unverified NOT A VERIFIED ZERO | — | No publicly documented applicant status, portal, dashboard or response SLA found; contact page gives no tracking mechanism and none can be inferred without a submission. | www.khoslaventures.com/contact checked 2026-11-01 |
Unverified means the state could not be established from public documentation — for most firms that is the track door, where firms rarely publish post-submission mechanics. It is reported as a documentation gap, not as proof that no door exists, and it is never presented as a verified closed door.
