Hey there founders! If you are based (or can stay ) in London next spring... @a16zcrypto is looking for you. Startup School is the name!!

https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/announcement/crypto-startup-school-applications-now-open-for-spring-2024-in-london/

What other crypto companies are in LA?

springlabs, autograph, probably lots of gaming ones. tbh idk. does @a16zcrypto know?

LA’s crypto ecosystem feels very fractured to me. i was in NYC last week and noticed how many insanely talented web3 builders are there. talent pool is crazy. i think Paradigm said they’re super bullish on NYC for this reason.

Pitching Unfathom.co to Replit team at the @a16zcrypto office on Monday. Wish me luck! https://i.imgur.com/7Cg79oz.jpg http://Unfathom.co

gm. Excited to announce sound is now open to all artists alongside our $20M Series A led by @a16zcrypto 

Sound is an experiment that aims to reshape how music is discovered and valued on the internet.

We're just getting started. https://i.imgur.com/kMiVGHq.jpg

Is anyone making a documentary about Farcaster?

Maybe the team that was shooting during CSS?

@a16zcrypto, anything you'd like to share?

Twitter access has been restored - thanks for the help @a16zcrypto  @sriramk.eth @eddy!

For someone just entering crypto, what is a good place for them to start learning what this is all about?

My reference depends on person:

▪️ Non-technical -> A journalistic story of Bitcoin (https://a.co/d/c9lNMxv)

▪️ Tech adjacent -> @a16zcrypto 2020 CSS playlist (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjQ9HCQMu_8wCvA0s9yW2dXg1jkFlPs7Z)

▪️ Highly technical -> Satoshi Whitepaper (https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf)

Run, don't walk to watch @a16zcrypto summer research seminar videos. Top notch lectures.

Tim Roughgarden does an amazing job organizing these.

2. @arweave Foundry was amazing community for learn-by-doing

3. @farcaster has been final unlock :)

Reflecting on an enlightening spring, @gandalf, your all-in-one tokengating solution, took part in @a16zcrypto’s Crypto Startup School. Our summer has been dedicated to applying those insights. Here's what we've been building

Decentralization is the key to unlocking web3’s potential and navigating regulatory uncertainty. But it’s hard.

Here are two analytical tools @a16zcrypto has used to help over 100 web3 companies pursue decentralization.

Just submitted an excellent course by @a16zcrypto's Head of Research, Tim Roughgarden.

It's a deep dive (85 lessons) that helps to look at blockchains as new computing paradigms.

Episode #138 is a great one.

I spoke with Scott Kupor, Managing Partner @ Andreessen Horowitz (@a16zcrypto).

Scott may be the most impactful person in the firm’s history without his name on the door.

We discuss his story, and the ABC’s of building a16z.

If you literally immerse yourself with the crypto industry and watch all @a16zcrypto Crypto StartUp School episodes

You will 100% be a founder in 1-2 years

Really enjoyed the latest @a16zcrypto podcast about web3 network effects & moats. This is one part I've often struggled to wrap my head around beyond 'issue tokens to incentivize network effects'.

Also appreciated the Farcaster shoutout!

@a16zcrypto's newsletter is so fun. easily the web3 version of collaborative fund's newsletter.
