@justmazer @andrewchen Thanks for making connections! Hoping a portfolio company is in need of a high-agency generalist (ops, design, product) to move mountains.

@andrewchen This form sucks on the twitter browser and why would you ask for linkedin and not github. Its the post-Sol world now.

Positive users appreciate a16z Speedrun's connections to unlisted startup roles as a good opportunity for job seekers, while the negative user objects to the form's poor usability on Twitter and its LinkedIn requirement instead of GitHub.

for folks thinking about a role change this summer, we want to find you a job at a startup -- we’ve invested in >350 companies so far via a16z speedrun. I’ve spent time with all of the founders: I’m betting (literally) that they’re the next Cursor, Kalshi, Decagon, Databricks, etc. their jobs are never listed - they tend to hire via referral or from our intros via the speedrun talent team want to work with them? Let us know here: https://bit.ly/4fe2B4V if the team sees a match, they’ll reach out to intro you to the founders.
