A16z speedrun deadline for funding

andrew chen, general partner at Andreessen Horowitz where he focuses on consumer technology investments, announces the final opportunity to apply for the a16z Speedrun program, with the application deadline set for tonight at midnight.

The initiative will invest up to $1 million in selected startups, providing dedicated support across go-to-market, talent, launch, and fundraising functions to help founders bring their new ventures to market. Founders with questions are encouraged to reach out directly.

Chen previously outlined a shift in startup fundraising, noting that priorities have moved from hiring to token purchases between 2010 and 2026. In San Francisco, the last call for applications to the a16z speedrun 007 program also included up to $1 million in investment for new startups, according to an earlier announcement from Chen. Both initiatives reflect Andreessen Horowitz’s ongoing focus on early-stage support for founders.
