Our fifth growth fund is now $8.5b. The founder is the asset in late stage, and we back the best in the world. At the same time, the best founders face global complexity earlier in their lives than ever before. So we are building out an enhanced Growth Platform for these exceptional founders. Biggest product cycles of our lives. Never been higher stakes, and never been more excited. @a16z
So that Americans will continue to win for generations to come. x.com/i/article/2092…
$1.1B for the Machine Age.

A16Z American Dynamism presents: Ulysses. Mariana Minerals. Radiant. Coming soon.
I’m excited to share that Podium Automation has raised an $18M Series A led by Construct Capital, with participation from a16z, Transition, Sunflower, and Banter to help our customers build the automated world faster. Today, Podium designs and ships UL 508A control panels in less than four weeks for the most ambitious hardware teams across industries. Our customers trust us to deliver panels on spec, on time, with full visibility from quote to delivery. In less than two years, we have shipped over 200 panels to customers ranging from hardware scale-ups to Fortune 500 companies. We’ve been heads down building our team, software platform, and factory to meet rapidly growing demand for quick-turn capacity, and we’ve also doubled our throughput in the last quarter. More importantly, we’re laser focused on delivering sustainable value to our customers with bottom line discipline. This quarter we delivered positive factory-level economics in our Brooklyn factory that launched in August 2025. If you want to be part of a team that cares about tangible results and believes in a future where industrial products are built efficiently, transparently, and without compromise - we're hiring across the board. To our team, customers, and investors - thank you. Today's announcement is grounded in the trust you’ve placed in Podium, and the responsibility we feel to keep earning it.
They did it. SpaceX has now launched more satellites than the rest of humanity, combined, all time.
SpaceX is only ~200 satellites away from having launched as many satellites as the rest of the world combined (despite giving the rest of the world a 61-year head start)
“The unmanned surface vessel, a Saronic Corsair, located the crew, who had spent two hours in the waters off the coast of Oman and brought them to shore.” Never been prouder of the @Saronic team. 🇺🇸💪🚀
"America must now build autonomous systems at both the quality and quantity required to win. We have the talent advantage. We are losing the production race. The stakes are whether the United States arrives at the next conflict with overwhelming superiority in autonomy, or whether we cede that advantage to adversaries who are already building it." a16z's Daniel Penny, Alex Oliver, and Zach Chen on the moral case for autonomous warfare: a16z.news/p/no-man-left-…
