Meet Andrew Chen - General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz - leading the firm’s LA office and shaping the future of tech through his insights on growth, product, and innovation. Interviewed by Andreessen Horowitz / a16z speedrun's Emlyn Thompson during TECH WEEK by a16z. Andrew Chen’s journey into venture capital began in San Francisco, where he built a reputation through his essays on startups and growth. One morning, a cold email from Marc Andreessen changed everything - leading to angel investment in his startup, an eventual stint at Uber during its hypergrowth era, and ultimately, a seat at one of the most influential venture firms in the world. Now 7+ years into his role at Andreessen Horowitz, Andrew continues to decode how technology evolves. From The Cold Start Problem to his latest thoughts on AI and Web3, he’s documenting how products reach escape velocity - and helping the next generation of founders do the same.
