a16z raised $15B in january. 18% of all the venture money raised in the US last year, in one raise
today it's hiring for its podcast team, and it should make everyone uncomfortable
20 firms can write the same check.
but now a founder will pick the one with a platform that gets them distribution
the largest firm in venture is spending its money on attention
content is everything now and a16z just doubled down on it

We're growing the @a16z Podcast Team. An all star can:
- Independently produce episodes E2E (shoot, edit, final delivery)
- Great intuition about podcast packaging (title, thumbnail)
- Fountain of ideas for relevant guests and panels
- Strategize and execute on distribution across socials platforms
- High slope, constantly learning, and easy to give feedback to
- Continuously elevate set design and technical production value
- Obsessed and voracious podcast listener
DMs open - we are hiring multiple people in SF/NYC
It’s so amazing watching boomer CMOs discover UGC.
Some of the biggest advertisers in the world have spent decades pouring money into abysmally low-converting marketing channels, ask them to defend their current spend and their answer is always “it’s how we’ve always done it.”
Then they finally give UGC a shot and obtain sub CPMs like they've never seen, with conversions way above their previous benchmarks.
Trust young marketers. It's a new world out there.

AI UGC is a divisive topic in the UGC community. Many people hate it.
We are fully embracing it at @launchpoint .
We are partnering with @higgsfield on a $1M prize pool for creators to create converting AI content for brands.
The future will have much more AI content. Human and AI content will live side by side.
The future is (almost) here.
Higgsfield stealth launched AI influencer accounts and racked up over 40 million views.
Now they’re offering a million dollars to anyone who does the same.
Launchpoint and Higgsfield are breaking the internet. The future of socials is coming.
If you’re in consumer and you’re not hiring UGC creators like crazy you’re NGMI
Look at any consumer company hyper scaling right now and it’s all the same playbook
The Higgsfield team is absolutely incredible to work with, some of the brightest marketing minds around
If you're scaling a consumer company and want to chat reach out - the best work with @launchpoint
In a short amount of time Fomo has hit...
- 2.5M+ users
- $500M in ARR 😳
- $7.7B monthly trading volume
- a recent $75M Series B
Been a pleasure working with the @fomo team, the most cracked team in marketing
We really are cooking at @launchpoint
If you're marketing a consumer app and not running large scale UGC you're NGMI
Fomo is starting to look a lot like an early Robinhood.
the numbers are INSANE:
> 2.5M+ users
> $500M in ARR 😳
> $7.7B monthly trading volume
> a recent $75M Series B
a huge part of that growth has come from how well they’ve executed their creator program.
they’ve very likely deployed well over $10M into creator spend at this point.
open X, TikTok, or Instagram and the @fomo app is all over your feed.
what'd be really interesting to see is if they eventually expand beyond trading and start layering in more fintech products like Robinhood did:
> Fomo Visa Cards
> virtual accounts
> yield / savings
trading at the core, with an entire fintech product line built around it.
all around brilliant execution by their team.
If you're in NYC and not meeting other founders and growth leaders regularly why are you paying for your rent?
Gathering the best
nyc has the coolest consumer founders
thanks for a great night and y'all are the best cohosts @JakeClayChain @Tristanrhee3
