Speedrun AMA: Break into a16z with Bold Vision + Founder Clarity
Want to apply to a16z Speedrun? Let’s jam.
Speedrun changed my life. I joined as a founder from India with no Valley network, and 90 days later, I pitched at Demo Day in front of 900+ investors.
Now, I want to give back!
I’m hosting an open session for founders curious about a16z Speedrun or just curious about building with bold conviction.
→ What Speedrun actually looks for
→ How to tell your story with clarity
→ Why traction is helpful but not required
→ Mistakes to avoid in the application
→ How to know if you’re Speedrun-ready
If you’re building something ambitious, I’d love to meet you.
No pitch decks. No fluff. Just real talk.
Bring your questions. Let’s jam.

20 mins → Q&A (drop questions in chat or ask live)
15 mins → Application tips + common mistakes
