Primary Evidence
"Keigetsu was located halfway along Sand Hill Road, a gentle slope running along the west side of Stanford University’s spacious campus. On this street, lush forests spread out on both sides, giving the impression of a vacation home area like Karuizawa at first glance. However, scattered among the trees are low-rise office buildings. Though the signs for each office are small and hard to recognize, if you look closely you can confirm names like Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB), Sequoia Capital, Khosla Ventures, and Benchmark Capital."
