Windsurf’s Indian-origin founder slammed for joining Google; Vinod Khosla calls them ‘Bad examples’ of founders

Varun Mohan, co-founder of Windsurf, faces criticism from Vinod Khosla for leaving his team to join Google after a potential OpenAI acquisition fell through. Khosla publicly condemned Mohan’s actions, deeming them a “bad example” of founders abandoning their teams and not sharing proceeds. The remaining Windsurf team was later acquired by Cognition, a company Khosla Ventures invests in.
