Hi Accelerated friends,
It’s Justine and Olivia - yes, we’re still here! It’s been a few years since our last email. We’re both still partners at a16z, working with startups across sectors and stages.
We started Accelerated to help more people find their way into tech and startups. Connecting readers with career opportunities was one of our favorite parts, and we’d love to pick that thread back up.
If we were early in our careers in 2026, we would join an AI startup. It’s a unique time where there are many opportunities available to join rocketship companies - you can learn quickly, take ownership of meaningful projects, and help build something great. That can also become a fantastic launching pad for becoming a founder, moving into VC, or almost anything else in tech.
We are fortunate enough to meet and work with many of these companies here at a16z. If you’re interested in learning about and being matched with opportunities at some of the fastest growing AI startups, take 1 minute to fill out this form: https://forms.gle/CHjXkoPLqYkLmmjc8
We’ll use your responses to help connect you with relevant opportunities as they come up (double opt-in!)
And since it’s been a while, we’d also love to hear what you’ve been up to. Feel free to hit reply and say hello.
Justine & Olivia
P.S. Some of you may be hiring teams of your own by now! If this is more relevant to a student, recent grad, or friend you know, please send it their way.
