Mr Khosla, who made his fortune as co-founder of computing giant Sun Microsystems, is hoping that Mr Blair&#8217;s decade on the global stage helps unlock doors for the companies that California-based Khosla Ventures invests in. <\/p>\n<p>The former prime minister, briefly enlisted last month by Gordon Brown to help Labour&#8217;s flagging election campaign, will lend his name to projects, make introductions and deliver advice. Khosla Ventures has already raised more than $1bn from investors to bet on a range of technologies from solar power to biofuels. <\/p>\n<p>Mr Khosla said that &#8220;with Tony&#8217;s advice and influence&#8217; we will create opportunities for entrepreneurs and innovators to devise practical solutions that can solve today&#8217;s most pressing problems.&#8221; <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Click source for more!!!
