General Partner, Founders Fund

About

Keith Rabois brings hands-on operating experience from building PayPal, LinkedIn, Square, and Opendoor, which gives him pattern recognition for what actually works when scaling companies rather than relying on financial analysis alone. He focuses obsessively on identifying top 1% talent and deliberately backs contrarian ideas that others dismiss, making concentrated bets when his conviction is strong rather than spreading investments widely.
