Bill Gates Posts Annual Letter, Backs Khosla

Gregory T. Huang1/25/10

Bill Gates has posted his 2010 annual letter for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The letter focuses on innovation and the foundation’s efforts in education, food, and health—tackling ambitious projects in online learning, agriculture, vaccines, malaria, and HIV, to name a few. Gates also has invested in Vinod Khosla’s most recent clean energy fund, which is just one highlight from his extensive interview with CNET. Gates is also an investor in the San Diego biofuel firm Sapphire Energy, and TerraPower, a nuclear energy spinout from Bellevue, WA-based Intellectual Ventures.
