On Tech and Entrepreneurs: Conversations with Ben and Marc Over 10 Years of a16z

a16z editorial

As of this past month, it’s been 10 years since the founding of Andreessen Horowitz — a.k.a. the numeronym “a16z” — so we’re resurfacing some of our most popular episodes, featuring a16z founders Ben and Marc together in conversation.

These conversations, which took place from 2014-2019, cover everything from their thoughts on how disruption theory does (and doesn’t) apply to startups to what software eats next. The series culminates in a special guest-hosted episode where another repeat entrepreneur (Stewart Butterfield, CEO of Slack), turns the tables and interviews them. Because it’s all about entrepreneurship — really, innovation! — then, now, and next.
