Rishi Khosla is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, investor, and the CEO and co-founder of leading financial technology company, OakNorth. He is a champion of entrepreneurs - who he feels are the drivers of innovation, social progress, and economic growth - and believes that everyone can prosper by adopting an entrepreneurial mindset.

This vision led Rishi to build his first business, Copal Partners (which later became Copal Amba) in 2002 with his business partner, Joel Perlman. Together, they grew the business to 3,000 employees across 11 markets, before selling it to Moody’s Corporation in 2014, returning over 200x for seed investors.

In 2015, they launched OakNorth which has lent over $15bn to businesses across the UK and US, directly supporting the creation of tens of thousands of new jobs and homes.

Rishi is an early-stage investor in Paypal and Indiabulls, with other investments including About Energy (battery technology), Spiracheck (biotech), and Xometry (3D printing and manufacturing).
