Apr 10, 2022

Some news! I'm joining @a16z as a consumer investment partner 🎉 I couldn't be more excited to be part of this amazing team: @conniechan, @jeff_jordan, @andrewchen, @kirbyman01, @anneleeskates, @KatiaAmeri, @ChrisLyons ...and of course, @omooretweets.

Big news this week - Justine is joining a16z as a consumer investment partner. She’ll be focused on investing in the future of commerce, via both consumer-facing platforms and infrastructure for brands. Click through to the thread ⬆️ for more.

We’re also thrilled to announce that will once again be co-writing Accelerated! Olivia joined a16z’s consumer team last summer, and we’re so excited to be reuniting.

We’re more committed than ever to making Accelerated the best resource for demystifying the world of tech and VC. We’d love your honest feedback about what you like and what we could be doing better - you can DM us on Twitter with thoughts (Justine & Olivia) or respond to this email.

You’ll see some adjustments to the structure of the newsletter, as this new role brings changes to what we can cover. This also means we have a short issue of Accelerated this week - but we promise there’s a lot more to come! 🚀
