So great openings at the most exciting AI companies around.. @RobertNWeber has the details!
If you were recently laid off at Meta Gen AI, my dms are open. Plenty of exciting opportunities at companies in the a16z portfolio.
1/ Exciting news to share! 🚀 We're thrilled to double down on our partnership with @burkaygur, @gorkem and the @fal team, together with friends @KindredVentures and @firstround. x.com/FAL/status/183…
Thrilled to share that a16z is leading the Series A of @usepylon - the customer support platform purposefully built for B2B companies. This problem space is near and dear to my heart given my personal experience, see blog & a 🧵 a16z.com/announcement/i… cc @zeyalater @jeffreysilv
AI is insecure by default. The open secret is that most AI apps launch with serious flaws. It takes MORE time to secure these apps than it does to build them. I learned this firsthand from shipping LLM agents to 200M users at Discord and supporting LLM evals for hundreds of companies. It doesn’t have to be this way. Today, we’re launching @Promptfoo, an open-source company that helps find and fix vulnerabilities in AI powered apps before they ship, and announcing a $5M seed round led by @a16z.
1/ 🤓🚀🇺🇸 Builders can make great investors. We know this well @a16z — we were founded by technical founders (@pmarca and @bhorowitz) and we're a firm run by founders and technologists. And we want more technologists on the team...
Proud to announce that @CapeWireless has raised $61M led by @A_StarVC and @a16z to build the privacy-focused mobile service. This is a big step for Cape — here’s how we got here, why privacy matters, and how the cellular network is key to regaining control of our personal data:
We've raised a $1.25B infrastructure fund! We love all infra, compute, network, storage, databases, data science, gen AI, dev tools ... from silicon to UIs. Infra is the true root of value in tech. And we're deepening our commitment to it. a16z.com/new-funds-new-…
We’ve raised $7.2b to continue investing in the future. You can read more here: a16z.com/new-funds-new-… @a16z
This is huge, if you are building or thinking about building in Games, there's no better team to work with.
BIG NEWS: i'm investing $30M in the next 45 days via the a16z SPEEDRUN program 😎 Yes, $750k per startup that joins the SPEEDRUN program plus obv it'll be a great way to work together on something. So come work with me at a16z's SPEEDRUN program -- we'll invest, work with you,
Let’s gooooo! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It is extremely exciting to see the growing support for deep tech and American Dynamism from the VC community! From @sequoia to @foundersfund to @a16z. @davidu has been a remarkable force of progress 🇺🇸🚀🇺🇸🚀🇺🇸 Full interview with @MorganLBrennan @benhorror
Infrastructure= making AI awesome (by making it work)
Insurance is a $7 trillion global data and risk business. Yet large parts of the insurance industry struggle to take advantage of modern data infrastructure. @joeschmidtiv & I are excited to announce our investment in hx! 🧵👇a16z.com/announcement/i…
📣✈️ Situational Intelligence For The Skies — Investing in @AirSpaceIntel a16z.com/announcement/i…
Some of you all know my very first career was in music and sound system engineering. Timing-wise this was the start of general purpose computers replacing specific hardware in music production. AI is a even bigger shift and @venturetwins and @illscience wrote a great piece on it
Introducing our thesis on AI x music 🎶 Just as synthesizers and samplers revolutionized the music industry, generative tools will power the next creative leap for consumers, artists, and producers. More from me + @illscience 👇
Thanks for sharing this story!
The dream of becoming a park ranger has not died for the record 🙂 Thanks @mercury for sharing my/Vantage's story a bit more in detail!
I've worked with public safety systems in the past, this is a huge upgrade and its exciting to see: The Superhero Stack: Upgrading Our First-Responder and Public Safety Systems a16z.com/the-superhero-…
1/ Software easily crosses borders-often just requiring language translation. Money also crosses borders- but w/ opaque FX rates & costly delays. We dive into who is solving these problems & opps for future. See #a16z global payment hub for a map & more! a16z.com/global-payment…
