Big update: I've left a16z and started a company! At a16z, I evaluated thousands of AI companies from seed to scale. This taught me something crucial: innovation is exciting, but true transformation - embedding AI into the core of our economy - is an entirely different challenge. AI is our generation's defining technology. But remarkable technology alone isn't enough. We need to bridge the gap between potential and performance, between demos and deployed systems that power our world. This is the era of AI Transformation, and this is what I'm committing the rest of my life to. I'm thrilled to build alongside my co-founder @weissenberger_j, whose brilliance in AI (and the basketball court) continually inspires me. Six intense months in, we’ve: - Secured major government contracts - Transformed prominent PE-backed companies - Assembled an exceptional team in San Francisco - Received funding from top-tier investors More details soon - but if you're passionate about this space, I'd love to connect. We're scaling fast, hiring now, and there's no better time to reach out. Onwards!
