a16z General Partner Alex Rampell joined the Technology Brothers Podcast Network following the announcement of Andreessen Horowitz’s new fund to discuss what drives founders to build enduring companies. Drawing on his journey from early software entrepreneur to leading a16z’s apps fund, Alex shared how high agency, deep historical understanding, and the ability to attract talent, capital, and customers separate great founders from the rest. He reflected on motivation beyond money, explaining why “revenge or redemption” often fuels the resilience required to push through the hardest moments of company building. Resources:Follow Alex Rampell on X: <a href="https://x.com/arampell?lang=en">https://twitter.com/arampell</a> Follow John Coogan on X: <a href="https://twitter.com/johncoogan">https://twitter.com/johncoogan</a> Follow Jordi Hays on X: <a href="https://twitter.com/jordihays">https://twitter.com/jordihays</a>Listen to more from TBPN: <a href="https://www.tbpn.com/">https://www.tbpn.com/</a> Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: <a href="https://twitter.com/a16z">https://twitter.com/a16z</a>Find a16z on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16z">https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16z</a>Listen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYX">https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYX</a>Listen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711</a>Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.
