"fun frequent convo I've been having with founders in the a16z speedrun program we're running in LA for the next 12-weeks: the clarity of a startup's story means clarity in their strategy. The story is the strategy. On the other hand a confusing rambling story means that your approach is likely complex incoherent and unattractive. If you've ever had someone pitch you a product idea and then needed to ask question after question to understand what they're doing you know what I mean. This is a skill. It takes tremendous time and effort to pare back your startup's core ideas into a short series"

"when consumers don't care that you're building an AI product (and might even hate it) I'm hearing a common thread from consumer AI founders: Consumers often don't really care that your new startup product uses AI under the covers and in fact when they find out they find it to be a negative. WTF I thought everyone was supposed to love AI. It's simple: we've trained consumers for decades to believe that the fanciest best customer interaction is a one-on-one human concierge doing whatever you want. Automation is seen as cutting corners. The most luxurious hotel/travel experiences involve"

Speedrun is a16z's new program to invest up to $1M in brand new startups with a 12-week program. Apply here: back to the topic -- so after reviewing a zillion pitches over my time in startup world you quickly realize that if you can't give a short pitch well (2min or less) then you probably won't give a 30+ min pitch well. Learning to do this effectively makes it easier to sell recruit and yes to raise money."

"The question to me is how often will creators create Is this like a daily activity the way that photos are Or is this something that's every few days or weekly or something like that I tend to think that if it's not a daily use case then the baseline will be lower. Remember that for other social media products the retention is held up because the content consumption can be daily even if creation is not daily. If initially the content is not as good then we might see a lower number"

"Bureaucrat mode: - create committees for every decision - make sure every meeting has pre-meetings to build the papers/deck for the meeting - end every meeting by expanding the scope of the project - no one ever owns a decision so make sure there's complete consensus. Create more meetings if needed - punish anyone showing initiative - discipline anyone who moves quickly without complete consensus - require detailed status reports before any progress - create complex approval workflows for trivial tasks - celebrate vanity metrics and milestones - reward people based on "impact" based on how"

"random thoughts/predictions on where vibe coding might go: - most code will be written (generated) by the time rich. Thus most code will be written by kids/students rather than software engineers. This is the same trend as video photos and other social media - we are in the command line interface days of vibe coding. For the majority of creators vibe coding will eventually fade and vibe designing (with a visual paradigm) will come to dominate. People ultimately think better in a GUI-like format than a CLI-like format. Thus in vibe designing you will show the AI the design outcomes you want"

"The end of the [--] billion active user ad-supported consumer startup -- and why highly-monetizing useful vertical apps are the next thing It's been a long time since we last built a broadly horizontal consumer app like YouTube Instagram Linkedin or Snapchat. In fact I'm convinced it may not be possible anymore because we're in the final years of the mobile S-curve and 15+ years after the launch of the iPhone there are major hurdles to apps to broad billion user horizontal apps. Instead the next generation might be "vertical apps" -- appealing to a vertical segment of the market like Monopoly Go"

"WHAT NEW FOUNDERS GET WRONG IN THEIR ELEVATOR PITCH so hey - am writing this in the FINAL week before applications close for a16z speedrun [--]. The deadline Sep [--] this upcoming sunday. Speedrun is a16z's new program to invest up to $1M in brand new startups with a 12-week program. Apply here: back to the topic -- so after reviewing a zillion pitches over my time in startup world you quickly realize that if you can't give a short pitch well (2min or less) then you probably won't give a 30+ min pitch well.

"You have to be an optimist about your own product your own startup and yourself. That's why when you pitch -- whether to investors to prospective employees or partners it's important to talk about what might happen not what you are doing today. There's a whole style to this type of pitch and it's a futuristic point of view that leans into optimism: - Emphasize the future not the past - What it could be not what it is - Play up even small bits of proof points - The big things that might happen if it works - The upside rather than risks - Signs the customers love the product rather than revenue"

"The people you attract with referral programs free trials coupons and gamification folks who are incentivized as a broad umbrella category are usually MUCH WORSE than organic ones. Worse LTVs worse conversion less engaged and so on. In a previous life I headed up Ubers $300m+/year referral program (give $5 and get $5) and learned a ton. Much of the learnings apply to the next wave of gamified consumer apps web3 games etc. So why are these users worse When a new product comes to market usually the team will measure a baseline set of metrics around lifetime value etc. if the numbers look good"
