Just your daily reminder if you're looking for jobs at startups you should bug your VC friends! I have way more visibility now than I did as a candidate across sectors / stages + it's one of the (IMO) few ways VCs can actually be helpful...

Something to think about : what does life look like 25 years from now if AI continues to improve.

I don’t think any AI community ( broad tech industry , academia , various timelines predictions) have done a great job articulating a positive long term future for humanity and what it means for the institutions and traditions that a lot of the world holds dear.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Build a life where you're energized in the morning and exhausted at night. Energized in the morning means you're excited about the things you get to work on and the people you get to work on them with. Exhausted at night means you gave your all to those things and people. Your best life is built in that collision.

New blog post: The third wave of American philanthropy

Hundreds of billions of dollars in new philanthropic capital will soon become liquid. The OpenAI Foundation holds 26% of OpenAI, worth about $220B at today’s valuation. Anthropic’s seven co-founders have pledged to give away 80% of their wealth and have instituted the most aggressive donor matching program for employees in tech history.

How much does this all add up to? And how meaningful is that in the context of philanthropy today?

I was doing some simple napkin math to wrap my head around the scale of what’s coming, and radicalized myself in the process. I had dramatically underappreciated the scale of the philanthropic capital that’s about to become available and the corresponding gap in talent and organizations that will be needed to make the most of it.

This piece aims to directionally sketch the scale of what’s coming, the gap in operational capacity needed to absorb it, and what we can do to fill it.

One of the most important and under appreciated trends in the world right now.

1. 100s of billions of dollars will soon be available to solve big problems (making the world resilient to ASI, ending factory farming, etc).
2. The projects and organizations which will turn billions of 2027/28 dollars into impact need to be started NOW.
3. We need really talented people to start and run and work for these new projects. What @nanransohoff calls general managers, who feel personally resposible for solving one of the world’s important problems.

What is especially scarce are detailed visions about what making AI go well looks like. These will help inform what problems these new projects ought to work on.

This is the part of my job at @a16z that most gets me up in the morning: building an incredible team.

We’re hiring for a lot of roles at the moment:

Chief of Staff: help me run all our initiatives at the intersection of investing, networks, and media. Senior role with a big impact.

Marketings and Comms Leadership: own the narrative for the a16z portfolio and firm. We’re hiring a CMO and a Chief Comms Officer.

Head of Podcasts: run, produce, scale our podcasts end-to-end. We’re also looking for a podcast host for new podcasts.

Content: define the agenda for tech. Build the most well-read and high-taste tech publication in the industry as an editor, writer, or specialist in growth/operations.

Social: build the biggest go-direct channels for the firm and top-tier CEOs, drive content strategy, design and audience growth.

Research: help us curate the most important conversations in tech.

Networks: Help build digital and IRL community across our extended networks of founders, investors, creators, and the tech ecosystem more broadly. Help run our VIP group chat operation. Help us source and identify amazing future founders at top companies today.

College: help us build a network of talented young people on campuses across the country (and the world).

Events: own flagship gatherings and summits that create moments people talk about.

Video: we want to take flyers on creative directors, content generalists, and aspiring filmmakers in tech.

More broadly, we’re interested in hiring anyone doing something exceptional at the intersection of investing and networks or content.

People here love the work, the people, and the growth.

I’m hiring a chief of staff.

You'll be a good fit if you:

- want to spend the rest of your career studying and operating businesses
- spend your weekends reading annual letters
- care more about who you work with than what you work on
- are a high-functioning workaholic
- have built a product people love

This role will be in person in NYC. No exceptions.

Ted Turner once said "you should set goals beyond your reach so you always have something to live for."

If that quote resonates, come build a business empire with me.

You will focus on business analysis, content creation, and most importantly doing the real work -- building and operating businesses with me.

Every week, operations leaders at ElevenLabs, McKinsey, and multiple YC-backed companies ask me the SAME questions.

Not about metrics or KPIs.

But about the stuff nobody talks about publicly:
