**Carter appreciation post**
There’s a LOT to be excited about when it comes to @Etched but almost nothing makes me more bullish than getting someone the caliber of Carter Wilcox to move to San Jose and devote himself to the mission. Because no one beats Carter when he’s on the warpath. Working 24/7 with you on @character_ai wasn’t enough. Back for round 2!!!

Very few founders have built and scaled a vertically integrated hardware company in the modern era. @RJScaringe is one of them.
At Mind, he’s building the robotics partner @Rivian wanted but couldn’t find.
We believe robotics is just starting to enter its compounding phase. The teams that integrate intelligence, hardware, and deployment into a coherent industrial platform will define the next generation of enduring companies.
Real world deployment is not the final step; it forces clarity in every step, from research to reliability.
Mind is setting out to build that platform. We are incredibly excited to partner with RJ and the entire Mind team.

.@assaf_rappaport, Yinon Costica, Ami Luttwak, and Roy Reznik are in a league of their own. The way they care for their customers, team, and investors is unparalleled.
(and I still think they’re underrated)
It’s no surprise this team built a platform people genuinely love, even in one of the most skeptical industries in tech. One CISO told us they’d quit if Wiz were removed.
Generational run. And it’s just the beginning as they join @GoogleCloud to combine powerful environmental context, frontier AI research, and multi-cloud DNA to secure AI end to end.
Congrats on this exciting new era. @a16z is honored to have been a part of the last one.

Thrilled to be leading @temporalio's Series D.
Agents have grown up jobs now. They’re moving data, writing + deploying code, updating records, and coordinating multi-tool, multi-step processes. It’s an exciting time…and a nerve-wracking one. Durable execution is higher stakes than ever.
Temporal is the execution layer for software: handling retries, state, recovery, and replay so long-running agents actually work in production. @OpenAI, @Replit, @Lovable, @stripe, @AbridgeHQ (and many more) already rely on them because they are N of 1.
Excited to partner with distributed systems legends @SamarAtTemporal and @mfateev as they build the backbone of the agentic era.
