Introducing: PlayerZero
The world's first Engineering World Model that puts debugging, fixing, and testing your code on autopilot.
We've raised $20M from Foundation Capital, @matei_zaharia (Databricks), @pbailis (Workday), @rauchg (Vercel), @zoink (Figma), @drewhouston (Dropbox), and more
PlayerZero frees up 30% of your engineering bandwidth by:
1. Finding the root cause for bugs & incidents in minutes that engineering teams take days to identify.
2. Predicting in minutes, edge case issues that a 300-person QA team would take weeks to find.
------
Here's why this matters:
No one in your org has a complete picture of how your production software actually behaves.
Support sees tickets. SRE sees infra. Dev sees code. Each team builds their own fragmented view - and none of these systems talk to each other. When something breaks, everyone scrambles to stitch the picture together by hand.
PlayerZero connects all of it into a single context graph -
→ The Slack thread where your lead said "we went with X because Y fell apart in prod last time"
→ The PR review where an engineer explained the tradeoff
→ The lifetime history of your CI/CD pipeline, observability stack, incidents, and support tickets
So you can trace any problem to its root cause across every silo.
And it compounds. Every incident diagnosed teaches the model something new. The longer it runs, the deeper it understands - which code paths are high-risk, which configurations are fragile, which changes tend to break which customer flows.
So when you sit down to debug a live issue, you have your entire org's collective reasoning and production memory behind you - instantly.
------
Zuora, Georgia-Pacific, and Nylas have reduced resolution time by 90% and caught 95% of breaking changes and freeing an average of $30M in engineering bandwidth.
------
Our guarantee:
If we can't increase your engineering bandwidth by at least 20% within one week, we'll donate $10,000 to an open-source project of your choice.

I'm joining @SpaceX and @xai to build the best coding AI.
For the last couple years I founded the most widely used coding agent for Android, scaling it to millions in revenue with a team of 3.
I've watched model capabilities compound at a staggering rate and we're clearly on the brink of recursive superintelligence. This is the most important problem to solve in history and requires an immense amount of resources to realize.
xAI is the place to build the future. Frontier compute, extraordinary talent, and a strong hold on physical intelligence and space.
If you want to focus on executing towards the most important problems of our time, DM me. We're in challenger mode and we are building the winning team.

LLMs revolutionized software creation.
The software we ship? Not as much.
The moment we ship software, we freeze it.
What if software evolved with your needs?
Introducing Mana, an AI-native OS.
Mana is a personal OS that understands the context of your life. It remembers what matters to you, creates personal apps for your needs, and evolves them as your needs change, growing in lockstep with you.
Not software you adapt to.
Software that adapts to you.
Mana is built from four primitives:
- A cloud filesystem so it can remember
- A code execution sandbox so it can act
- A realtime UI renderer so changes become real interfaces
- And an LLM with access to it all. It not only creates apps but also acts as an assistant on top of every app you build.
This makes everything in Mana feel alive:
- Your todo list knows what's inside it
- You can talk to your analytics dashboard and change what it tracks
- You can make a multiplayer game in a party in 60 seconds
Creating apps becomes as easy as creating markdown files.

I'm excited to be taking on the role as General Partner @a16zcrypto! A huge thank you to @cdixon, @alive_eth, @AriannaSimpson, @eddylazzarin, and team for their support.
When I joined our team almost five years ago, I believed that crypto was the best way to build new networks on the Internet. In the time since, blockchains have become fast, cheap, and ubiquitous. Today they’re still used by a relatively small group of people, with more than 40M mobile wallets users and 25,000 active developers (source).
In the next five years, I’m most excited about capital, information, and energy as the networks that crypto can supercharge. I’ll focus on investing in DeFi, DePIN, and the infrastructure powering those applications to bring finance and physical infrastructure onchain.
If you’re building in those spaces, please get in touch. I am thrilled to continue supporting founders building the future of the internet here at a16z crypto.

Today we are excited to announce that we are promoting Guy Wuollet (@guywuolletjr) to General Partner. We first met Guy in 2018 while he was studying computer science at Stanford, where he also rowed varsity crew. He initially joined the firm as an intern working on the enterprise go-to-market team, but it soon became clear he was most passionate about crypto. We kept running into Guy: first when he joined our Crypto Startup Accelerator to build a decentralized ISP, then while doing research at Protocol Labs, and finally as a teaching assistant for our research partner @danboneh. After joining us full-time in 2020, Guy began investing in infrastructure, DeFi, and DePIN. He has been a steady and creative force, making significant contributions to more than 20 investments, including Solana, LayerZero, Gensyn, EigenLayer, Daylight, and Morpho. Based on insights from prior investments like Orchid, Nym, and Helium, Guy defined our thesis on what would become known as DePIN. He wrote one of the defining blogs on why DePIN matters and helped us invest in Gensyn. Next he wrote about decentralized energy and led our investment in Daylight. Guy also invested in decentralized transportation, robotics, and AI projects as he helped run our accelerator. DeFi has always been central to Guy’s thesis, but his early investment in Morpho was driven above all by conviction in the founders. He recognized in @PaulFrambot and his team a rare combination of technical depth and clarity of vision. Since then, Morpho has grown to billions in total value locked and become one of the leading protocols in DeFi. Their V2 launch marked a major leap forward in efficiency and scale for on-chain lending. Through his work with founders, Guy has shown a rare mix of deep technical expertise and thoughtful pragmatism. Founders often tell me how impressed they are that Guy systematically reads, understands, and provides useful feedback on protocol design and other hard technical topics. His writing and advice on token and protocol design have helped influence many projects in our portfolio. Beyond his investing skills, Guy has been a calm and positive presence, with a wry sense of humor, both inside the firm and for founders. As the crypto team grew from a small group to more than 80 people, he helped recruit and mentor many of the talented investors, researchers, and operators who make the team what it is today. Guy is an invaluable member of the team, and it has been great to see him grow and develop over the last five years. Guy joins me, @alive_eth, and @AriannaSimpson as @a16zcrypto’s fourth General Partner.
