Today, we're announcing Launchpad: the first-ever founder bootcamp that teaches you how to build in public. This October, we're bringing 30 teams to upstate New York, where they'll take their ideas from zero to revenue in just 14 days. You'll be mentored by Stan and by speakers who've built... show more

We're bringing 100 Founders into the woods for 14 days to compete for millions of $. Our goal is simple: get as many of these Founders from $0 to Revenue in just 14 days. But there's a twist: We're making it a reality show - teams will compete Squid Games x Shark Tank style for an oppty to pitch Tier 1 VCs for millions of $ at the end. We'll teach them our entire playbook we used to Build in Public to $40M ARR. And we're bringing top Entrepreneurs like GaryVee, Daymond John, Sophia Amoruso and Zach Yadegari to mentor everyone. We're here to prove one thing: Anyone, anywhere can change their life and make millions if they just have the hustle. And we're here to help them. Let's go have some fun 😈 Hope you tune in!

We're winning the AI browser wars, and we're not even trying. Our mission isn't to build a browser. We're an agent company, not a browser company. We've seen firsthand how teams struggle to get started with AI. The tools they tried are too complex and lack the context you need. We decided to build a browser since it's already the tool you work in. We all know how to use a browser. You can pick up Strawberry and start using AI agents from day one. By building a browser we are also positioning ourselves to build towards the internet of the future. An internet where trillions of agents will be communicating with each other. This is the biggest opportunity of our lifetime. But someone has to make sure it is safe, effective and accessible to teams across the world. That is our mission.

If you’ve never written code before, this is for you. I’ve just launched a course that shows you, in less than 30 minutes, how to describe an idea for an app and build it with AI. In this course, you'll build a working web application - a funny interactive birthday message generator that runs in your browser and can be shared with friends. You'll customize it by telling AI how you want it changed, and tweak it until it works the way you want. By the end, you'll have a repeatable process you can apply to build a wide variety of applications. If you want to try vibe coding, this will be the best place to start! Further, you'll be able to use these techniques with whatever tool you're most comfortable with (like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or others) -- we're vendor neutral. Skills you'll gain: - How to build web apps with AI - zero coding skills needed - How to fix and improve your creations by chatting with AI - A simple process you can use to build other things you can dream up Building with AI is one of the most fun things in the world. Please join me and take your first step! I think you will be surprised at what you can build. And if you're an experienced engineer, please share this with someone in your life who's been curious about building with AI. Come build with me!

Don’t start with the product. Start with distribution. I give this advice to entrepreneurs all the time because distribution is the hardest part of building a company. “Build it and they will come” almost never works. And even if you expect distribution to be hard—it’ll be 10× harder. HotelTonight started with a distribution insight. In 2009, we saw that the App Store about to become a massive channel. Billion-dollar companies would be built there, and early movers could earn free distribution before the competition showed up. From that insight, we worked backwards to the product: - A use case uniquely suited to mobile: last-minute hotel booking - Designed to win App Store ranking and retention: beautiful UI, lightning-fast 8-second bookings - Clear, curated choices and amazing deals that fit the mobile moment That combo—a unique distribution edge + a product tailored to it—powered our growth. As you think about your next company, begin with your edge in distribution. Maybe you are an expert at selling into a specific vertical. Maybe you're great at creating authentic content. Maybe you’ve spotted an emerging channel before anyone else. Only then decide what to build—the product that best amplifies your distribution advantage. At speedrun, we’re seeing teams win with GEO, founder-led content, and high-intent launch videos. So I’ll leave you with a prompt: What’s your unique approach to distribution—and what product could you build that maximizes it? If you’re working on this, I’d love to hear from you. Apply to speedrun at sr [dot] a16z [dot] com.

Jeff Bezos just revealed the best time to start a company: "There's never been a better time to be an inventor and a pioneer than right now because the world is on fire with new ideas and with AI and space opportunities. And we're in the middle of multiple golden ages right now with a rapid rate of change." "And by the way, rapid change is good for startup companies and bad for incumbents. It's hard for incumbents to keep up, to move fast." "And so this is the best time ever, in my lifetime, probably ever, to start a company and do something inventive." "The second thing is an eagerness to invent. That you wanna be pioneering, that you wanna do new things." Every incumbent is struggling to keep up. Every startup has the advantage of speed. The founder of Amazon just told you the window is wide open. — Jeff Bezos Jeff Bezos P.S. We build content infrastructure for founders and VCs. 1.5M views/week average.

Here we go again 🚀! Excited to announce that we're building A1Zap (YC W25) with Pennie Li and that we're in the Y Combinator W25 batch in San Francisco! What is A1Base? A1Base gives AI Agents a real world identity for work. We do that by rebuilding Twilio and Okta from the ground up, putting AI Agents first. This means developers can make AI-first agentic applications 10x easier with our API's. ⁉️ Why are we doing this? Because there's a huge torrent of new valuable companies possible with AI agents, but to get their AI Agents to users, they have to chain custom apps, chat interfaces, awkward Slack integrations, browser bots, and wrestle with Twilio’s legacy API (which is built for marketing). We solve this by providing developers with an easy to use API to interface your AI agent with humans/coworkers/users where they are in this case in Whatsapp, Slack, Teams, SMS and more) - with AI Agent features built in. These digital workers are poised to transform how we work and we're the critical infrastructure to help them interact naturally in human workflows. We're not just building another AI tool. We're creating the infrastructure that will enable AI agents to become a natural part of the workforce - handling everything from customer support to sales development to creative work. We're backed by Y Combinator and working with founding teams who share our vision. We believe that in the near future, AI Agents with human coworkers will enable us to pursue more creative and impactful work. Our mission is to help developers build AI Agents that people can partner with and rely on as trusted allies—always with a human-first mindset. If you're thinking about the Agentic future of your company reach out! If you're looking to build your first AI Agentic company - reach out too - we have some amazing open source templates to get you started on the journey. Excited to share more of what we're up to soon 🔜.

Anduril's Jeff Miller breaks down the rules for their new autonomous drone-flying contest, where the prize is a job at Anduril: "All the drones have to be the same. The only differentiator is the software, the code - the ability to build autonomy." "The way we're doing this is, we're working with the Drone Champions League - the foremost operator of AI drone racing in the world. We've got them as our official race operator, and we're working off of the model that they've built, tested, and forged a really viable path." "It starts with virtual qualifiers. Anyone can compete in these virtual qualifiers... That will lead to a physical qualifier where you're going to have gates that you have to go through. The top teams that qualify, both from the university level and across the globe, because it's going to be an open competition, those will qualify for the first official AIGP in Columbus, Ohio." "There, you're going to have time to prep and refine your code leading up to the actual race day. And that's where - all systems go."

Two years ago, we made the biggest bet in Gamma's history. AI models were getting dramatically better, and we decided to rebuild our entire product around them. People thought we were crazy, we were a small team, pre-revenue, and we were essentially starting over. That bet took us from a few thousand users to 50+ million. From zero revenue to $100M ARR. It transformed how people create and share ideas. Now we're seeing the same kind of shift happening again. The world is going agentic and just like we went AI-first two years ago, we're now building Gamma for an agent-first world. Today we're launching the Gamma connector for Claude, in partnership with Anthropic. When Claude finishes a task for you (a research summary, a project plan, meeting notes) it can now hand you a Gamma presentation built from that work. Your thinking becomes something visual, polished, and ready to share. This is our first step. We believe that as agents become the way people get work done, every agent should be able to express ideas visually. We want Gamma to be the presentation layer for the agentic world. We're just getting started.

📊 Brad Gerstner on the single number the entire AI trade now hinges on: "This is the single most important data point in the market today: is Anthropic's monthly revenue, is OpenAI's monthly revenue, going to be $4 billion or $8 billion? It's almost hard to get your head around. Most of us who've been in venture capital for a long time, if you got to a billion dollars in software revenue over four or five years, you were in the top 5% of software companies. But this is what the world is now pricing in." — Brad Gerstner, Founder and CEO of Altimeter Capital, at the All-in Summit.

I was just in Alaska launching the largest Energy Infrastructure Project in Alaska History— The Alaska LNG Project. This 50 Billion Dollar Infrastructure Investment from The Republic of Korea is part of their Trade and Investment Deal with me. I am also announcing today that my Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, has secured an Offtake Commitment from Taiwan of between 70 to 80 Billion Dollars for Alaska LNG — That is 30% of the Pipeline for the next 20 years. This is the largest Offtake Agreement in History. On top of that, Taiwan has also agreed to Invest 4.4 Billion Dollars in Equity into the Project, because this is now a U.S. Federal Government Project, with all necessary permits secured, and all necessary authorizations delivered, and ready to go. This is the GREATEST Project in Alaska History, and this only happens with me in the White House. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP ( TS: Oct 14 2026, 12:29 PM ET )‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌

Katherine Boyle says SpaceX’s legacy will be the thousands of companies that spawn from the school of Elon Musk: "What we've learned from the SpaceX story is that these kinds of companies can be built." "It is one of the most important companies in America. It's beloved by Americans across the country for what it's been able to achieve." "The legacy of SpaceX is going to be hundreds, if not thousands of companies—people who've gone to the school of Elon Musk, they've learned manufacturing and they've built companies, and built products in a way that they can take to new companies in manufacturing and defense, and drones and hypersonics—all of these other categories that SpaceX doesn't do." "We're incredibly excited about SpaceX. We're incredibly excited for what it's achieved for the American people and what it's going to lead to over the next 25 years."

Evan Spiegel on the lesson that killed his first startup and led to Snapchat: "We focused on building the perfect product for way too long before we got feedback. We worked for like eighteen months to build this perfect full-featured product, which was in direct contravention to how I was always taught to build things. Build a prototype, build an MVP, get it in front of people, learn as quickly as possible. But we had spent all this time building this perfect piece of software and we hadn't thought enough about distribution. While we built this great piece of software, our competitor at the time, Naviance, had secured distribution through all the different college counselors. What piece of software are you going to choose to help your kid get into college? The one recommended by the college counselors or the one from two kids at Stanford? I think it's a pretty easy choice. So we saw very early that we had no distribution advantage. Even if we loved our software, people weren't going to use it because we didn't have a scalable way to get it in people's hands. Around that time when we saw the emergence of the App Store on iPhone, it was very clear that was a distribution channel we could really use and benefit from. But we also needed to build things we could build quickly, things we really were going to use together with our friends so we could be the first early customers. Ultimately Peekaboo and Snapchat represented that." This is exactly the asymmetry Peter Thiel describes in Zero to One: superior distribution by itself can create a monopoly, even with no product differentiation. The converse is not true. Thiel puts an even finer point on it: most businesses get zero distribution channels to work. Poor sales rather than bad product is the most common cause of failure. If you can get just one distribution channel to work, you have a great business. Estée Lauder said: it's not enough to have the most wonderful product in the world. You must be able to sell it. Many founders over-index on product perfection and under-invest in distribution. The world is full of great products nobody knows about, and mediocre products with massive distribution that dominate markets. Evan Spiegel lived it. He built the better product, watched it lose, and then built something he could actually distribute.
