What We Believe_
AI represents a generational shift in computing — following in the footsteps of the microprocessor and the internet — and it will deliver commensurate improvements in cost, efficiency, and human productivity.
At a16z Infra, we believe that infrastructure underpins this coming shift just as it does for many other transformational technologies. That’s why we invest in founders and companies building at every level of the stack: from foundation models, core AI systems, and developer tools, to next-gen cloud, data, and security systems.
