New @a16z deal alert! I’m incredibly excited to announce that we are leading @get_sphere's Series A and I’m joining the board. International tax compliance is an unnecessary obstacle to companies doing business globally. Sphere makes it easy. Sphere’s AI-native tax engine,…
.@get_sphere has raised a $21M Series A, led by @a16z, to build the world's first AI-native tax engine 🌎 There are two diametrically opposed forces that are coming to a head right now - companies are going global faster than ever but cross border compliance is becoming more…
Tech is on the verge of its “Bad Bunny” moment — where global talent sets the standard instead of conforming to it. In the same way Bad Bunny didn’t switch languages to go mainstream, global founders no longer need to contort themselves to fit a U.S. mold - they bring the best…
I have lived this and this is both 100% brutal and true. I remember my IB days watching deals collapse at month 11 of a 12 month process when everyone exhausted and then one person would just refuse to let it die and somehow it'd close. Same pattern when we built Bondex. 2022…
It’s near impossible to beat someone who just doesn’t give up. I learned that racing marathons: you hit a wall, you feel awful, you may think you're done—and then somehow you find another gear. The same thing happens as a founder. And as an investor. You can believe something…

I’ll take the other side, here are a few approaches that advantage app layer startups: 1 Categories that benefit from being *multi-model* - labs and big tech will only ever be able to offer their 1P models and in coding / creative tools etc you get better results by…
We're leading a $20M round in @Wabi. Wabi is a personal software platform where users can create, discover, remix and share mini apps, founded by @ekuyda. Why we're thrilled to be backing the team: - The internet drives participation, yet only 20M programmers have ever been…

Excited to host this event in Helsinki on November 19th! We’ll be joined by the founders of @fal and Extraordinary.com to discuss what it takes to come to America and WIN.
I'm excited to share my latest @Fintech_Leaders interview with Andrew Wang (@wangandrewd) and Linda Du, CEO & COO of Valon, the AI-native infrastructure platform transforming mortgage servicing in America. They are backed by @a16z @WestCap @Jefferies @alley_corp , amongst…
Last week a group of us at a16z spent time in Mexico! We met with amazing entrepreneurs in the country. We also spent time with President Sheinbaum and Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard to talk about technology. Our global efforts are just getting started.

Product Cycles > Financial Cycles...and one way to build around the AI Product Cycle: going "greenfield" Below is a chart of the Nasdaq vs the biggest product cycles of the past 45 years: PC, Internet, Cloud, Mobile, and now AI. Each had an infrastructure layer and an…
Last night, Vegas was alive with Hip-Hop greatness! 🎤✨ The 3rd Annual @PaidInFullFDN #HipHopGrandmasterAwards honored @TheRealKoolGRap & @iamgrandpuba, with @george_clinton receiving the Quincy Jones Award.
Do you "sell to the new" or "sell to the old"? At the start of a platform shift (Cloud, Mobile, now AI!), when there are hundreds of new companies being created -- selling to the new is a GREAT strategy to win distribution. So many greenfield opportunities still exist 👇
🚨How does an AI-native startup unseat an incumbent?🚨 👇Enter the Greenfield Strategy: AI-native startup bingo. The battle between every startup and incumbent comes down to whether the startup gets distribution before the incumbent gets innovation. One of the most powerful, and…
Deel has raised $300M at a $17.3B valuation We started about 6 years ago, struggling to even make $10K. I've never shared this before because of how embarrassing our start was. The story of how we went from $1K to $1B and the advice I'd give to my younger self:
SF packed the house, so we’re taking it to Wall Street. Nov 11 – a16z Finance Forum: NYC Demo Day @ NYSE. AI demos from founders reinventing finance. If you’re a finance leader tired of buzzwords, this one’s for you. Sig up link below.
Borderless founders dinners are more than just dinners. It’s a community of immigrants who left everything behind to chase the dream. The lows are lonely, but together we can help each other.
