josh has had one of those rare careers where the impact is undeniable across multiple eras of consumer tech.

& he was a major major part of getting apple out of its ai malaise with new siri.

this feels like a 100x bigger win for a16z than it is for josh, though both obviously win.

He is one of the best product thinkers I have ever met.

Told me last week that he is leaving Siri team to get into investing.

I first met Josh in Greylock HQ.

I was 18 and was desperate to get into venture.

The only thing; no one other than @mamoonha and @jasonlk took a meeting.

He did. He gave me time. Advice.

12 years later we are still friends.

12 years later he is still one of the best operators, minds, thinkers.

Can’t wait to find things to work together on now! ❤️

Known Josh for well over a decade. Besides the unmatched product resume, he’s never not followed up on a founder intro we send him; he always helps any founder he meets; and his heart is always in the right place.

Josh is one of the most generous people I know and has an exceptional product mind. He was one of my first mentors in tech, and I couldn’t be more excited to work with him.

Big news in VC world as @joshelman joins a16z 👀

A few weeks ago I wrote about @LassieAI, a startup automating the back office for dentist offices.

Lassie CEO @steijnpelle credits Elman with bringing him to Robinhood and teaching him how to ship a viral product.

"Don't build the whole suite right away," he learned. "If you are in a big market solving a big problem, you need to have a 10x better product."

I am (personally) thrilled to get a chance to work with Josh.

But I’m even more thrilled for all the founders who will benefit from his expertise, kindness, and passion.

He has been part of many of the most important consumer tech stories ever…with more to come! 💪
