From selling startups to Google to backing multibillion‑dollar AI winners - Anish Acharya [a16z]

Today on BILLIONS, I’m sitting down with Anish Acharya, General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Anish isn't your typical VC. He built and sold his first company to Google, his second to Credit Karma, and then helped scale their card business to nearly a billion in revenue. Now at a16z, he’s the man who led the Series A in Deel, a company that just hit a $17.3 billion valuation. If you want to know what it looks like to transition from a founder to a operator to a "Kingmaker" at the highest level of venture capital, this is your masterclass.
