Founded in 2009 by Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, Andreessen Horowitz (known as "a16z") is a venture capital firm that backs bold entrepreneurs building the future through technology. We are stage agnostic: We invest in seed to late-stage technology companies, across the consumer, enterprise, bio/healthcare, crypto, fintech and games spaces. a16z is defined by respect for the entrepreneur and the entrepreneurial company building process; we know what it’s like to be in the founder’s shoes. The firm is led by general partners, many of whom are former founders/operators, CEOs, or CTOs of successful technology companies, and who have domain expertise ranging from biology to crypto to distributed systems to security to marketplaces to financial services. We aim to connect entrepreneurs, investors, executives, engineers, academics, industry experts, and others in the technology ecosystem. We have built a network of experts including technical and executive talent; top media and marketing resources; Fortune 500/Global 2000 companies; as well as other technology decision makers, influencers, and key opinion leaders. a16z uses this network as part of our commitment to help our portfolio companies grow their business, so our operating teams provide entrepreneurs with access to expertise and insights across the entire spectrum of company building. https://a16z.com/portfolio/ https://a16z.com/podcasts/ https://a16z.com/videos/ http://a16z.com/subscribe See Disclosures: https://a16z.com/disclosures/

Girls Driving for a Difference empowers girls to become leaders of social change through design thinking. Our journey first began with a cross-country road-trip. During the summer of 2015, our founding team of 4 young women from Stanford University trekked across the US for 14 weeks in an RV, coaching 55 of our design thinking and leadership workshops for more than 1,200 girls across 32 states. Each workshop guides girls to identify their strengths and leadership abilities, and create their own personal mission statement for improving the world. Today, our teaching materials can be found in the hands of educators, program leaders, and passionate parents around the world. Our flagship program, "Find Your Drive,"​ comes in a box that arrives on your doorstep and includes all the info/materials you need to start teaching. "Make Your Mark"​ is our second workshop that builds directly onto Find Your Drive and can be downloaded online. The Girls Driving for a Difference mission is two-fold. First, we give young girls the tools, inspiration, and creative confidence to lead their own social change. Second, we partner with schools, companies, and other impact-driven organizations to train them to facilitate our workshops and lift up girls in their community.
