The culture of banks (and other large incumbents) holding startups hostage for millions in free warrants when they’ve got partnerships/vendor relationships on the 1 yard line really needs to stop. It’s just so gross / extractive / poisons their reputation in the ecosystem. Not

1/ Today’s private markets set the stage for the next decade of tech value creation. When I got into growth investing, tech was niche in public and private markets. Since then, tech has eaten everything—yet most of its growth still hides behind the private-market curtain.

There is no "AI for finance" without Excel. When I first met George Sivulka, we bonded over our love for Excel. So it’s cool to now see Hebbia bring AI into the tool every banker and investor actually lives in.

Insurance is a trillion-dollar industry that still runs on PDFs and Excel -- but that’s about to change. We a16z are thrilled to lead the Series A in FurtherAI, a company building insurance-native AI workflows for carriers, MGAs, agents, & brokers. Their platform frees humans

Congrats to Ariel, Ilan Twig, and the entire Navan team. Navan survived a global travel shutdown when COVID hit in 2020. Their resilience speaks for itself. We a16z are incredibly proud of them, and their IPO today is a well-deserved milestone. Onward!
