Mr Chandna, 49 is partner at Greylock Partners, which he joined in 2003 after serving as vice-president of business development and product management at Check Point Software, a Tel Aviv IT security firm. He is now Greylock's specialist in enterprise infrastructure, cloud computing and security.

Mr Ganesan, 40 is managing director at Menlo Ventures and his standing on the Midas List is thanks to an early bet on network security company Palo Alto Networks in 2007, which had one of the largest IPOs of 2012.

"From his first job washing dishes in a restaurant to advising companies like Palo Alto Networks, Ganesan says humble beginnings are where he gets his passion for building companies," Forbes said.

Mr Khosla, whose networth is $1.5 billion is partner at Khosla Ventures. The 59-year old is a 10-time Midas Lister who is known for seeking sustainability in all forms, including wood-based biofuel, new types of batteries, water purification, greener glass and clean cement.

He has invested in software-defined networking company Contrail and 4G player Beceem Communications.
