Episode Summary

Welcome to the first episode of a16z Infra, the Clubhouse Show about data, AI/ML, security, developer tools, compute, network, storage, hardware, and anything else found below the surface of modern stacks.

Episode Notes

Welcome to a16z Infra, the Clubhouse Show where the a16z enterprise team discusses the foundational technology and products that underpin all of tech. We dig deep into data, AI/ML, security, developer tools, compute, network, storage, hardware, and anything else found below the surface of modern  stacks.

On our first show, a16z general partners Ben Horowitz, Martin Casado, and David Ulevitch  talk about their journeys as infrastructure founders-turned-investors; what exactly  infrastructure is; how it's different from other types of tech; and the importance of technical founders developing go-to-market know-how. Plus, what AWS canceling Parler signals about the state of infrastructure, the impact of cloud costs on margins, and the changing relevance of open source.
