Episode notes

Luxury retailers face significant challenges when expensive items are being stolen, security guards cannot intervene, police are reluctant to make arrests, and prosecutors do not press charges. This scenario poses a serious threat to the viability of the business operation.

Welcome to "The Ben & Marc Show" featuring a16z co-founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz. In this first episode of a two-part series, Marc and Ben visit the Twittersphere (or X-sphere) to answer YOUR questions about startup building in this post-COVID world.

In this one-on-one conversation, Ben and Marc discuss the biggest tech disruptions of the past four years, dive into the major problems facing American cities – including crime and a commercial real estate crisis – and question the future of our 40-hour work week. That and much more. Enjoy!
