Congrats to @Whatnot on their Series G! When we @a16z first partnered in '21, live shopping was mainstream in China but hadn't meaningfully shown up in the US. Now, Whatnot is the standard for live commerce and is the largest live commerce platform in North America and Europe. @GrantLaFontaine and @loganhead13 are relentless, and they'll keep expanding categories and service levels. fortune.com/2026/08/07/ai-…

Travis Kalanick's rule for pacing a company's ambition: "I'm constantly creating problems. 'Hey, let's do Uber in China.' And you don't have a full understanding of that problem when you create it. If you create a problem, you have to solve it." "I have this framework I call the meta problem. The derivative of your problem creation must be less than or equal to the derivative of your problem solving." "If it's not, you have a real problem. You're underwater." "You're guessing at what your capacity is to solve problems, and you're guessing six months, 12, 18 months ahead. When you get it really wrong, you must stop all problem creation so that you can get back above water." @travisk @bhorowitz @eriktorenberg

Ben Horowitz says the difference between a great idea and a great company is the entrepreneur: "If you look at Tesla, what you would see is big oil, big auto, big government, were never going to let that happen." "They would kill you. But the reality is, Elon Musk, he's hard to kill. He by himself kind of decarbonized the American auto industry, which is unbelievable in retrospect." "If you listen to the politicians now, they're like 'oh, he didn't build Tesla, he just struck a gold mine and is pulling the gold out, all the people built it.'" "Why didn't all those people build another Tesla? Because there's only one non-fungible, very rare person in that equation who could do that. That's why there's only one SpaceX." @travisk @bhorowitz @eriktorenberg

We’re backing Atoms, and @bhorowitz is joining the board. @travisk has been working on Atoms for 8 years, in stealth, to digitize the physical world. It is inevitable that within a generation, robots are going to do most of the menial work in the world of atoms: transforming atoms, moving atoms, and storing atoms. Atoms will make us more productive in the physical world the same way digital computers did for bits. Travis has three of them so far: Atoms Food, Atoms Mining, and Atoms Transport. All are trillion dollar industries, so he's got some work to do, and we're excited to help him win. "Industrial AI" as a category is the application of specialized robots to atoms-heavy industries like these. It takes a rare kind of entrepreneur to change these old-school, heavy parts of our economy. Travis is that guy.

Earvin “Magic” Johnson says passing on Nike stock in 1979 cost him a stake worth over $1,000,000,000 today “When I was young, Nike wanted to sign me.” “Phil Knight said, ‘I don’t have the money they have, but I’ve got stock.’” “I didn’t take the deal.” “They just ran the analytics.” “If I had taken that deal in 1979, it’d be worth over a billion dollars.” “That’s the one that got away.” “There are always deals you look back on and wish you had done.” “But I’m not a guy who goes backwards.” “I’m always moving forward.” “What I have is what I’m supposed to have.”

I am thrilled to announce my return to a16z as a full-time General Partner. Having made a full recovery from cancer and navigated some of life’s most taxing personal hurdles, I am returning with a sharpened sense of purpose and a deep optimism for the future, both personally and professionally. My time away reinforced that living to one's fullest capacity requires doing what you love with the people you trust. While I’ve continued to support my boards and founders, I’ve realized my greatest impact happens when I am 'all in.' I believe he current pace of innovation in infrastructure is unmatched, and I couldn't be happier to be back in the trenches with my colleagues and close friends on the a16z Infra team.
