Investing Partner, @a16z speedrun. Did some important-ish stuff at Reforge, Slack, Instacart, Runkeeper, Zynga, and Pixar.

Agent-native products are coming. Every product on the internet was built for a human with eyes, a cursor, and a credit card. Agents have none of those things. Most companies are teaching agents to pretend to be humans. That's a hack. The real opportunity is products designed for agents from scratch. Everything inverts: • Discovery → protocol registries, not ads and billboards • Trust → machine-readable reputation, not brand • Onboarding → full capabilities upfront, not a narrow slice • Payments → spend authorization, not checkout flows • Retention → zero. Agents switch between API calls. 30 years of human product design. Day one of agent product design.

a trend we’re seeing right now: more companies want to own and control their models, rather than rent their intelligence from the big labs Speedrun team Zorbe has gone from 0 to $1.6M cARR in just 6 weeks - building custom distilled models that give companies frontier-like performance while letting them own the models themselves founders @yash_iyer21 @SadaniPranay are cooking 🔥

You know what's awesome about America? That after roughly one generation post-migration, basically everyone LOVES FOOTBALL. Football is the American cultural melting pot in its most powerful form.
MAKE COLLEGE FOOTBALL GREAT AGAIN.

Honest review so far is that it's odd and will take a lot of getting used to. On my first attempt I basically just sprayed water all over the place.

"I'll put it on the backlog" used to be PM-speak for "we're never doing this". When your limiting factor was engineering time, it was an easy excuse to avoid bloat and maintain prioritization. With AI, it's not really a good excuse anymore, which means teams are probably shipping a lot of stuff that doesn't actually move the needle. No matter how easy it is to build, it's still important to be laser-focused on the 1-2 things that REALLY MATTER.

So many AI founders would benefit from reading @stewart's "We Don't Sell Saddles Here" Product is Marketing. Marketing is Product. "In the best case, there is a dialectic at play here: the product itself and the way people use it should suggest new ways of articulating the value — and refinements to how we communicate the value should lead to principles which clarify decision-making around product features and design." medium.com/@stewart/we-dont-…
