The ElevenLabs documentary is now out everywhere.

Produced by a16z team with love.

In it, I had a chance to sit down with @matiii.

I asked him why he believed voice is the next fundamental interface for us. This is his response.

[a16z @a16z]

ElevenLabs started as a weekend project.

They crossed $330M ARR in 2025 as they build the voice interface of the future.

This is the ElevenLabs story. An a16z Original.

Fivetran CEO George Fraser's theory of the SaaSpocalypse:

"There's a lot more uncertainty embedded in all these SaaS companies... than there was a year ago."

"I don't really buy into this reason that all these SaaS categories are gonna disappear and be replaced with vibe-coded software.

I think there will be some, but I think the bigger threat is simply new companies coming along.

It is just so much easier to write software now that AI-native companies will just zoom and catch up to the established incumbents and maybe be better."

[New blog] The Next Frontier of Visual AI Is Code

For many visual problems, we will learn to reframe the visual generation task to a coding task, and get efficient improvement from solving a well-defined & validatable coding problem

Design and creative work IS code 👇

Very excited for the ElevenLabs Warsaw summit later today, hosted at the Polish National Theatre

This is my sixth trip to Poland over the last 10 years and every time I’m impressed by the ambition of the people I meet, the scale of startups being built, and the beauty of the new buildings being constructed

Looking forward to talking about the new advancements we’ve made in ElevenCreative and announcing a new product!

AI isn't replacing customer support, it's making it better.

New data from @usepylon shows what is happening in AI-enabled support.

Proud to back @marty_kausas and the team.

[Marty Kausas @marty_kausas]

From the beginning at Pylon, we've had this conviction that you can't just run B2B support on platforms made for B2C.

Why?

Account context.

Context is everything when your customers...
→ Are accounts with multiple stakeholders
→ Sign multi-year contracts
→ Pay you 6+ figures in ARR
→ Form long-term relationships with your team
→ Talk to you via unstructured channels like Slack

Given the above it's impossible to reduce B2B support interactions to one-time transactions and you can't afford to "forget" customer context and history.

This is why we built Account Intelligence.

We're the first support platform to connect support data back to account-level context, because we've seen that building up your customer knowledge graph consistently improves outcomes.

We partnered with the team at @a16z to prove it with data directly from Pylon.

When you maintain and leverage rich context on your accounts, you improve AI-driven resolution and your customers are more satisfied with the support they're getting.

We did a whole deep dive on Pylon data and wrote about why contrary to the popular narrative, AI is best as a copilot for support teams and not a replacement for them.
