I want to fund infinite healthcare apps.

AI that delivers more care and less paperwork. Companies like @CounselHealth, @EvidenceOpen and @TennrOfficial are leading the way.

If you are building this future, I would love to chat.

@DrArturoAI Yeah the recent data is staggering https://t.co/kaXqyM2bcY

We still spend ~2x more on cancer drugs than on diabetes + obesity drugs combined (~$143B vs. ~$72B, net). But those two areas added more spend last year than cancer did. Will they cross over one day?

The best founders are elite capital allocators. They make non-obvious bets that compound progress beyond expectations. Rare, and beautiful to watch:

The @a16z Global Partnerships effort has one goal: connect the best founders to the capital and countries they need to win in this next era.

[Jen Kha @jkhamehl]

Technology is how countries dominate now -- economically, militarily, culturally.

That changes what founders need from their investors.

Founders want power. Market access. Government relationships. and of course, capital.

That's why Investor Relations at a16z is now Global Partnerships.

More on what this means for LPs and founders:
