Episode notes

When a washington post journalist emales me like, that's much more interesting than a coal demal from some one with a gemal address and bocener sbut perhaps you were feeling as a journalist that people were nervous to answer your emales for fear of being on the record? Yes, no. And i also just think this is a different conversation about media that i think was evolving at the time when i moved. There's no upside to talking to the media in the minds of people who are headsdown building. But there's a lot of upside totalking to someone who might be your next employee.

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!
