🧠 Delight is overrated. Great UX doesn’t impress — it disappears. It removes decisions, reduces friction, and builds trust. More options ≠ better UX. Fewer, smarter choices = user momentum. Full article : saadbenryane.com/blog/delight-i… #ux #product #startup #founder

For some reason, I cannot get a good experience using Grok, it seems a bit wilder and less reliable, but creativity is sometimes it’s strength over other models.

Suggestion for @elonmusk: Grok 3.5 or Grok 4 should get an optional quick answer button to provide short answers. It would not only simplify but also save compute power and server performance as well as bandwidth.

@Sheibban 100%, love how you phrased it : Designing with anticipation 🚀
English

Most SaaS teams lose users in the first 15 seconds because the UI doesn’t show what’s next.
Progress isn’t a feature. It’s a feeling.
Build it fast. Show what’s ahead.
⚠️ No clarity = no conversion
✨ Tiny UX wins → massive returns
Fix it now. Your growth depends on it.

@samm_duc Totally agree, I believe that at the core, if the solution is valid, the only thing that stands in the way to deliver it is the UI.
English

@saadbenryane @saadbenryane, what if a seamless ui could redefine user loyalty? clarity truly can create conversions.

@andrewchen The way you break down onboarding loops is spot-on. I work behind the scenes helping teams turn those ideas into UX that actually drives traction. Thanks for putting real frameworks out there.

new announcement from a16z:
startup founders -- come work with me 1:1 and let a16z invest up to $1M in your very early stage startup :)
(yes, this is via a16z speedrun, and we are launching the next cycle today, taking applications over the next ~month. Here's how to apply: sr.a16z.com)
More details:
I’m back in (currently cloudy) LA after spending a couple months in San Francisco. It was super fun to be back in the bubble. It seemed, right after COVID, that so many other geos were ascendant — you saw a big explosion in LA and NY, and a lot of VCs (including us) starting offices in London. But very clearly the AI revolution has brought a lot of the action back to SF, even if folks are doing it remotely and SOMA is a bit dead. It was great to catch up with many of you over dinners, events, mixers etc. Bumped into a lot of friends during urban hikes in the city also!
I was in SF working on my big project at Andreessen Horowitz right now, which is building a16z speedrun . This is a new program where we invest up to $1M into very early stage startups and then work with them closely over 90 days, then launch them into the world. I am very involved, and it’s been fun to get my hands dirty working 1:1 and in small groups with founders early on their journey. There’s a new cycle kicking off, so would love if you could:
- recommend anyone I should be working with!
- fine to share the website below, or reach out via neutrals
- details + dates are: up to $1M investment from a16z speedrun plus $5M credits from our main partners (AWS, GCP, OpenAI, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Stripe, Deel, etc)
- the next programs kicks off July 28 to October 10, 2025 this year.
- speakers include the founders of Figma, Zynga, Zillow, DoorDash, Twilio, etc etc
- application deadline is May 11, so please get ahold of us by then
how to apply: sr.a16z.com
more details: speedrun.a16z.com
OK — so a bit more details on how this all happened:
I started working on Speedrun at a16z because there are a ton of very early stage startups out there that are building in and around our focus of tech, entertainment and AI. Many of these early wouldn’t know what to do with a16z’s usual check size of $10 or $20 million, but they would benefit from the a16z team (now numbering nearly 600 strong!) that provide access to everything from hiring, partnerships, financing, marketing, and everything else. I love working with founders at this stage.
Also it does not slip our mind that many of the best startups on the planet were started by first time founders and also repeat founders that also have a chip on their shoulder. We feel like we’re not able to help as many entrepreneurs if we just focus on ones that have a ton of revenue and are growing quickly (though we want to work with those ones too!). So starting about 18 months ago, we kicked off a16z Speedrun which is now heading into its 5th cycle. It’s been awesome and very rewarding!
If folks have any questions, I’ll try to address stuff in the comments here. But best thing to do if you have a specific startup in mind is visit the website.
