American Dynamism. A term coined by a16z General Partner, Katherine Boyle, two years ago, when she and David Ulevitch founded the firm’s American Dynamism investing practice.
Beyond a sector or movement, American Dynamism embodies innovation, community, and a unique philosophy touching every facet of American life.
In this episode, we hear from 10 voices, including policymakers, founders, and funders, as they share what American Dynamism means to them. They discuss the critical technologies shaping the future and the challenges on the path to the next decade of dynamism.
Stay tuned for more exclusive conversations from a16z’s second annual American Dynamism Summit in Washington, D.C.
