A lot of the impha structure that everyone outside the tech community uses in their data day lives now are born of the te community in silkan valley. Software is a revolution that is completely touching every aspect of society. But the people who are building the best forms of software are not going into government. It used to love to build internally. That was sort of the thesiss we need tanks and battleships, and we can get those from the private sector. We actually like to build our own internal tools.

We sit down with a16z General Partner Katherine Boyle to discuss investing in “American Dynamism”, why it’s so important and why now is the right time to pursue it. Katherine has a fascinating background, beginning her career as a reporter at The Washington Post before entering the VC world first at Founders Fund, then General Catalyst and now a16z. Her perspectives don’t fit neatly in any box — political, economic or otherwise — and we have a great conversation exploring them. Tune in!
