AI is seeing faster growth than any previous technology cycle. A few things stand out:

- Unicorns are real: The top decile unicorns are growing revenue ~6x faster than the median
- Power laws: The definition of "large-cap" has tripled since 2019, and incumbents are being disrupted quickly

This and much more in the @a16z State of Markets deck: https://t.co/C9nppLGss0

It's time to build.

[Sarah Wang @sarahdingwang]

What's become increasingly clear over the past 2 years is that @cursor_ai is too busy building the future to look to left or right.

Thrilled to back @cursor_ai again as they redefine how software gets built.

Congrats on @mntruell and the entire team on your series D and onward to your next magical moment.

We dressed for the future. Prediction markets, but couture. Let the people trade (our costumes).

@Kalshi for Halloween at @a16z.

[Tarek Mansour @mansourtarek_]

Kalshi recently raised $300M+ at $5B from Sequoia, a16z, Paradigm and others.

Since then, we've grown over 3x, hit $50B of annualized volume, and became the largest prediction market in the world.

And today…Kalshi goes global.

140+ countries. 1 liquidity pool.

Congratulations to @zoink, Praveer and the @figma team on going public.

When we originally invested, we said we were entering the decade of design.

Amazing how much that has happened. Thanks for letting us at @a16z be part of the journey.

Margit took a brand new firm in a 50 year old industry and built the best known global brand in Venture Capital. She has been a giant in the field and we are eternally grateful for her amazing contributions to Andreessen Horowitz.

[Alex Immerman @aleximm]

Really enjoyed joining @cjgustafson on the Run the Numbers podcast.

We covered the evolving role of CFOs and the metrics investors are looking at in the fast-moving AI world.

Few highlights here, and clips in the thread.
