Everything online today is next-to-instant, so why does it take so long to sell something? Today, selling online can take weeks or even months waiting for buyers, negotiating, and fighting off scammers.

Revolut is demonstrating incredible market share gains. Here's an excerpt from our internal memo - we’d surveyed consumers across 6 European markets. Banking is a competitive, not winner-take-all market with hundreds of players. Still, Revolut has taken ~20-40% of all new opened accounts, and their share gains are growing year-over-year. Revolut has over 65 million customers across 39 countries, adding 1 million new customers every 17 days. They are well on their way to their stated goal: 100m daily active users across 100 countries. Congrats to Nik Storonsky, Victor Stinga, Justin Settlecowski and team on their fundraise at $75 billion. We at Andreessen Horowitz are thrilled to partner with them as they redefine banking at a global scale.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev on AI, Building in Fintech, and Contrarian Bets Robinhood broke from the consensus: zero commissions when competitors charged $10, mobile-first when the expectation was desktop, and bold branding in response to disillusionment with the financial system. CEO Vlad Tenev sat down with a16z General Partners Alastair (Alex) Rampell and Erik Torenberg to tell the story of how he built Robinhood. They cover the origin of fintech as a category, how Robinhood survived crises, the societal role of financial asset ownership, and more. Listen to the whole interview here: https://lnkd.in/g8XUdgTP

The world has massively underestimated how much natural gas the future needs, and now AI data centers and LNG exports are competing for supply. So … who should get the gas? Enjoy part 2 of this doubleheader from Michael Spyker, teaching us everything we need to know about the resource powering AI. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/dTJ_satw

Last month, Sam Altman told us that most new data centers will be powered by natural gas - at least, for now. We wanted to learn more about it: What is natural gas? Where do we get it? Is there enough to go around? (Maybe not!) Michael Spyker of HTM Energy unpacks it for us in a doubleheader guest post: https://lnkd.in/d7zD6Hbp

It took 750 million liters of water to train Grok 4. That sounds huge ... until you put it into perspective. Swipe for the full story 

We’re beyond excited to be leading Stuut's Series A. Despite recent automation, enterprise transactions remain messy: once contracts are signed, partners delay payment, leaving teams to chase invoices and run collections. Accounts receivable is where payment friction and risk live, yet most teams still wrangle email and old software. Enter Stuut. Stuut uses agents to handle outreach, enforce terms, resolve disputes, and structure the workflow so humans can focus on judgment. The result is faster cash, cleaner data, and a calmer collections motion. Tarek A. is a force of nature, and Ben Winter has an uncanny ability to build world-class teams which deliver customer satisfaction. We are proud to back them.
