Where can startups win in consumer AI?
We @a16z mapped out where we see early winners - search, creative tools, productivity 👇
We're still waiting for winners everywhere else - social, marketplaces, travel, finance, hiring, dating, gaming, media, and more
When we started Tubi, almost nobody believed it would work. I pitched 400+ VCs, came within a week of bankruptcy twice, and was told over and over that it was a bad idea.
Today, Tubi has 110M+ monthly users and is watched more than HBO Max.
A fun look back at how it happened:

Watch Iranian star filmmaker Jafar Panahi with @jonstewart in one of the most moving conversations on the power of art and resistance, even from jail.
Panahi is promoting his Oscar-nominated film, "It Was Just an Accident".

Watch how the Iranian regime guns down its own citizens.
Now ask yourself what its “peaceful” nuclear program would mean for the rest of the world.

Thanks to @TheOnion for the laugh and the brief illusion that I’m cool.
It’s official, @Tubi is profitable!
When you focus on building real value for viewers and creators, the results eventually speak for themselves.
Congrats, Tubi team. Very proud of you!

That was a thrill!

I’m absolutely heartbroken by the loss of my dear friend and coach, Bryan Neuberg @NeubergBryan. Bryan and I worked together for over six years. He stood by me during the toughest moments of my career, helping me grow not only as a CEO but, more importantly, as a person. I owe him some of the most profound lessons I’ve learned, not just in entrepreneurship, but in life.
Though we stopped working together about a year ago when I left Tubi, we stayed in touch. The last time I heard from him was about a month ago via text. I realized today that I never responded to his last message. I meant to, but I let it slip. This morning, when I read the news, I deeply regretted not making that call to catch up and hear his voice one more time. But one thing I’ll never regret is our friendship.
Bryan changed my life in ways I can’t fully express. I watched in awe as he faced the ultimate test—his battle with Parkinson’s—with courage and grace. He taught me, in many ways, how to be true to myself.
Bryan, I will never forget you. Love you, brother. Rest in peace
