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.

I am excited to announce Mind Robotics’ $500M financing, co-led by @Accel and @a16z! Mind is focused on building the world’s leading industrial robotics platform, capable of performing dexterous, variable, and reasoning-intensive tasks. Existing industrial robotics can perform repeatable, dimensionally stable tasks, but a large share of industrial value-add work requires human-like dexterity, adaptation, and physical reasoning that classical robotics cannot address. We are building AI-powered robots—models, hardware, and deployment infrastructure—that will perform real tasks, in real plants, at real scale.

Anshul Sadana helped build Arista into the defining networking company of the last era.
Now he and the @nexthopai team, which is one of the strongest hardware and software teams in the industry, are building the networking company for the AI era.
Building a networking company that can serve hyperscalers at this scale requires getting everything right: the hardware, the software, the relationships, and the pace of execution. It’s why companies like this almost never get started. It’s also why, when they do, they can become generational.
Excited to invest in Nexthop’s Series B.

Congrats to @arielcoco, @itwig, and the entire @Navan team.
Navan survived a global travel shutdown when COVID hit in 2020. Their resilience speaks for itself.
We @a16z are incredibly proud of them, and their IPO today is a well-deserved milestone. Onward!
Navan@Navan
Today, Navan is officially listed on @Nasdaq as $NAVN. From day one, our focus has been on making travel easy for every frequent traveler. This mission, and our fierce belief in the importance of in-person connections, has driven our efforts to upgrade the travel and expense industry. Thank you to our users, customers and suppliers. You have inspired and supported us every step of the way. We could not have done this without you! #NAVN #NavanIPO #Nasdaqlisted

The next computing shift is already underway — and it’s happening faster than even the people building it expected.
@Meta CTO @boztank joins @DavidGeorge83 to talk about how the team is rooted in solving real-world problems — and how this new wave of AI is unlike any before, ushering us towards a future beyond the smartphone.
Boz says AI isn’t just making things faster or cheaper, it’s making everything better. From interfaces to interaction design, AI is transforming how we build — and how we compute.
For more on the future of computing, wearables, and AI-native UX, watch the full conversation with Boz and David: bit.ly/3EDCMNB

“What happens to the billion other websites if they aren’t getting traffic?”
@cdixon raises a topic few are talking about: AI isn’t just disrupting search—it's changing the internet's economic model.
For decades, websites provided platforms with content in exchange for traffic. AI flips this—content fuels its model, but traffic doesn’t always flow back.
As users turn to AI for answers instead of the traditional search, control is becoming increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few dominant systems.
He’s worried about the future of the internet, and what this shift means for creators. To address this, he asks: What new incentive structures or architectures should we be thinking about?

LLMs are quickly commoditizing, and most use cases are fault tolerant. Hallucinations can be a feature.
Autonomous driving has not commoditized. Many players reach 99%, but the final frontier is literally life or death. @Waymo drives alone today.
Inspiring talk @dmitri_dolgov.

@a16z Pricing partner @TugceErten2022 and RevOps partner Mark Regan on whether a usage- or subscription-based pricing model is right for you 🤔
Tugce Erten@TugceErten2022
One of the most common questions we get from founders is if they should switch to usage-based pricing. Our rule of thumb? It depends on your end user. More on choosing a pricing structure that helps you capture the most value @a16z 👇 a16z.com/usage-based-pr…
