Hiring is hard. That's why I'm interviewing people who've figured it out.

New podcast: Good Company. Real talk with founders and leaders who've built legendary teams.

Kicking off the first 3 eps with @gmarsh17, @zackmziegler & Jess live now:

Little Tech exists bc founders have the courage to just go build something. We built @speedrun to support early companies. Now we have a program to support potential founders and early employees even earlier

If you're pre-anything but want to build, apply to the Alpha Fellowship

I bet few people there know it, but YC wouldn't exist without UIUC. My father went there from England on a Fullbright, and came back determined to move to America.

At Andreessen Horowitz, we just raised over $15B.

With these new funds including American Dynamism ($1.176B), Apps ($1.7B), Bio + Health ($700M), Infrastructure ($1.7B), Growth ($6.75B), and other venture strategies ($3B), we raised over 18% of all venture capital dollars allocated in the United States in 2025.

Why did we raise the money and how do we plan to invest it?

The Year of Me

Since the industrial revolution, humanity has been obsessed with economies of scale. That mindset unlocked incredible things: cheaper food, better shelter, global transportation.

But my big idea is that 2026 is the year this flips.
Generative AI makes true personalization cheap, fast, and universal, turning the “economy of scale” into an economy of self.

Ask yourself: What happens when the most important products stop being mass-produced and start being made bespoke... for everyone?

- What if education finally adapts to each child, with students learning at their own pace, getting extra support when concepts are hard, and advancing quickly when they’re ready? Mass classrooms force everyone into the same mold. Personalized learning lets every child reach their full potential.

- What if wellness became truly individual? Instead of expensive personal trainers or lowest-common-denominator supplement packs, we could have dynamic, AI-generated health stacks tailored to your biology and updated in real time using wearable data.

- And what if instead of being captive to a one-size-fits-all algorithm, your news, shows, and stories instantly adapted to your interests, values, and preferred tone?

The biggest companies of the last century won by finding the average consumer.

The biggest of the next century will win by finding the individual inside the average.

2026 is the year the world stops optimizing for everyone, and starts optimizing for me (and you!).
