Tony Blair to Advice Vinod Khosla’s VC Firm is a latest update on Khosla Venture’s attempt to shape the PESTEL factors in CleanTech industry. The acronym, PESTEL and Mr. Blair’s impact on cleanTech industry is the main summary of my reading so far. ‘P’ stands for political factors where I do not have to write anything else than that Blair has been working on cleanTech policy making while he was in power. ‘E’ stands for Economic factors where the new investment wave of investment and hence the policy making in this area will make great impact for the future of this cleantech eco-system. ‘S’ stands for Social factors where Mr. Blair’s social activism coupled with his long political career will propel the whole Khosla Venture’s brand image. This is invaluable in deed. ‘T’ stands for Technological factors and Mr. Blair is one of the leaders who understands the power of the renewable multiple of Technology to solve the inequities we have been facing since a long time. The other ‘E’ stands for Environmental Factors and we do not need words to explain this as the whole advising he is going to give for Khosla Ventures is in this area. ‘L’ stands for Legal factors where Mr. Blair brings a legacy of making free market economy socially responsible and now the component is to be added is environmentally responsible market economy. I will revisit this blog in a year or so to see the delta impact he will generate for the Khosla Ventures based on public knowledge though!!
