a16z GP Sourced and Closed OpenRouter Investment

Sarah Chieng retweeted Vivian Shen's post claiming a general partner at a16z named Anjney Midha sourced and closed the OpenRouter investment. The statement positions the move as evidence that principals hold an edge with AI founders. It directly counters other accounts of how the deal came together. The visible posts contain only this assertion from the author with no separate confirmation or additional details on timing or terms. Discussion in the thread stays focused on which roles inside the firm drove the sourcing and closing steps for the startup.
