a16z Launched "a16z START" Program to Provide Startups with Up to $1 Million in Funding and Resource Network Support

a16z launched "a16z START" program. Powered by the a16z seed fund in collaboration with partners investing across American Dynamism, Consumer, Enterprise, and Fintech, a16z meets START entrepreneurs where they are in their journey—whether it’s honing their product vision and defining a target audience, building and launching their MVP, or scaling an already launched product. And with investments of up to $1 million, resources and support networks will be made available. Since launching the START beta program in fall 2021, our team has received over 1,000 applications and welcomed 11 START entrepreneurs into the a16z family, including Rappi, Ethos principals and more.
