a16z's big ideas in tech for 2025

and more from my side of the world

hey folks, welcome back! sharing some thoughts from the past few weeks

• i thought Andreessen Horowitz’s list of big ideas in tech for 2025 was super interesting, i ended up summarizing it and sharing here.

• speaking of, I’ve been spending a lot more time posting on X over the past few months. been a lot of fun sharing on the platform. join me there

• next play is going global in 2025. we have an incredible group of hosts putting on events in 22+ cities (more coming) in the next few weeks. full list here.

• i thought this podcast interview with jared kushner was fantastic, worth a listen

• im hosting office hours with some folks this week, slots are fully booked, but hope to open more soon! we have a version of this for next play as well, have 25+ volunteers in the directory.

• reach out if you’re hiring for roles in the next few months, bunch of ways next play can help

• I made a few new angel investments in december, can’t share the companies yet, but stay tuned! i have most of my investments listed here in case interesting to check out.

• i’ve heard really good things about Flow (voice dictation tool) starting to play around with it.

• every few weeks i go down a different youtube rabbit hole and end up watching way too many videos on the topic. right now it’s historic war battles (channel here) what should be the next one? let me know if you have any recommendations

• i played pickleball recently for the first time (I know i’m really late to this) was very fun! hoping to try Padel out soon, seems super fun
