Teddy was always pure class on and off the field.
Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure will continue in heaven 🙏🏻
It is with immeasurable sadness that we announce the passing of Coach Ted Wolford.
Teddy was a coach, a mentor, a husband, a friend, and will always be- a legend.
Please keep his wife Vickie, all of his siblings, and the 3132 family in your thoughts and prayers.

We are deeply saddened to hear the news of coaches passing. Hard to even know where to start with a man like Coach Wolford. One of a kind and total servant to others. A blessing to the lacrosse community for all that he gave and a legend here in central Ohio. He will forever be remembered for his passion for the game and even more importantly his dedication to developing young men. He has touched the lives of so many. Grateful for the time we shared over the past 25 years and for all that he has done for me, my two boys and everything he has given to the medicine game & Upper Arlington community. A legend that will be forever remembered! Much love coach ❤️ RIP

This week we posted four stories that point toward a future of open, programmable markets.
From tokenized securities to perps to onchain lending, financial infrastructure is being rebuilt to be more global, more liquid, and more software-driven.
Here’s what we published:

Huge win for DeFi today.
The SEC's guidance on DeFi frontends makes one thing abundantly clear –– securities laws don't apply just because users are transacting in securities.
Rather, what matters is whether the frontend is exposing users to the same types of intermediary risks that securities laws were designed to address.
The SEC's guidance explains exactly what that means –– providing a roadmap for developers and addressing ambiguities in broker-dealer regs that were inappropriately weaponized against the industry by the prior admin.
Critically, order routing isn't prohibited. But where it is done, apps need to be completely transparent so users aren't subjected to conflicts of interest risk. That makes sense and is an honest application of existing law.
This is what effective policy looks like. Huge thanks are owed to the SEC CTF for advancing this and bringing clarity for developers.

Moving the financial system onchain unlocks instant settlement, 24/7 markets, and cost reductions that TradFi simply can't match.
But fully realizing that vision requires clear rules for the blockchain applications that let investors transact peer-to-peer, without intermediaries.
Today former SEC Chief Economist and Division of Economic and Risk Analysis Director Craig Lewis has published an economic analysis of a16z's and the DeFi Education Fund's safe harbor proposal for those apps.
His conclusion: while there are tradeoffs, the economic case is compelling. The benefits of tokenized securities are real, and the proposal provides a sound framework for capturing them. Professor Lewis has drawn the map. We hope the SEC will follow it.

Almost everything you think you know about the history of technology and capitalism was warped by communist/luddite propaganda of the era. That's happening this time too.

Nice work, @packyM! Notwithstanding the 'bias,' 😅 this case study is superb & meticulous.
“a16z is betting that it can help make that future bigger and better than it would otherwise be, sooner, through policy and platform and power, and help its portfolio companies win in the process.”
“Based on my conversations with a16z’s founders, this bet seems to be paying off today, and it is an unbelievably asymmetric one. Each win can pay for a lot of capabilities. The machine compounds.
The most interesting bet it’s making, in my opinion, in light of the first two, is the one that seems most obvious, when you put it like I’m about to put it:
That a VC firm can, like nearly every other type of company in the universe, get better with scale.”

Had a great conversation with @milesjennings at @BlockchainAssn Policy Summit yesterday. At the SEC, we’re working to advance clear rules of the road that encourage investment in our economy and provide a firm regulatory foundation for digital assets.

I had a great time chatting with @patrick_oshag on @InvestLikeBest. I've known Patrick since college, and this is the first time we've talked markets and investing at this much depth.
The fundamentals of company building haven’t changed: people, products, and markets matter.
But obviously, private markets have evolved substantially over my career: there are now ~6x more private unicorns than public companies with a $1b market cap. And at the end of 2010, just 2 public technology companies were among the top 10 in market cap; today it’s 8 of 10.
AI (alongside software eating everything more generally) is clearly driving a lot of this. But it’s instructive to look at everything from the steam engine, to the early days of Facebook and Google user monetization, to real-time success stories like Databricks, Anduril, OpenAI and Waymo, to get a clear picture of where the opportunities lie.
It was a pleasure to go deep on all this and more!

.@DavidGeorge83 leads @a16z Growth, which has backed some of the most successful technology companies including Stripe, SpaceX, Waymo, Databricks, Figma, OpenAI, and Cursor.
This conversation is a detailed look at how David built and runs the growth business. He shares how they win the most competitive deals, the principles behind its culture, and the framework he uses to evaluate companies.
We discuss how a16z is investing across the AI stack -- from model providers to applications -- and why this platform shift creates a real window for startups to displace incumbents.
Throughout the episode, David shares the models that guide his investing: why markets misprice consistent growth, what makes "pull" businesses so powerful, and why he likes to back a certain kind of founder he calls the "technical terminator."
It’s fun to talk with students of the game, and David is certainly one of them. He's spent his career studying great companies, markets, and founders, and you can feel that depth in how clearly he connects patterns across cycles.
Enjoy!
