  Hah, without context just based on title it could be a blog about how to speedrun from being a tech titan to ruining your reputation.

  Is it founders on crack or something?

  No dates on the site, but next demo day is Oct25?

  Also, i have heard that A12Z tilts strongly to referrals and intros.

  Of course, someone will pop up to deny, etc but it is what it is.

  EDIT: "current deadline for our upcoming cohort which will be hosted in Los Angeles is May 11th, 2025"....

  If anyone in Canada has access to capital (hah) and wants to help me get something like this off the ground in Canada, PLEASE reach out. I have a good MVP running, I'd like to connect it to capital next.

  For anyone considering participating, know that A16Z is actively supporting fascism.

  Their recent "American Dynamism" conference featured a whos-who of the Trump administration including a keynote from JD Vance.

  They deserve the Musk treatment.
