Founders

Today's web3 with a16z episode is all about marketing — including differences between marketing in crypto and traditional tech.

The conversation shares a candid look at what works — and what doesn’t — when it comes to building reputation and community, attracting developers, hiring teams and agencies, launching tokens, raising founder profiles, and more.

Our experts are:

... Amanda Tyler (@amandatyler), who was most recently Head of Marketing at the Optimism Foundation (and was formerly at Polygon, Coinbase, and Google);

... Claire Kart (@clairekart), Chief Marketing Officer at Aztec (who previously was at Risc Zero and SoFi);

... in conversation with Kim Milosevich (@kimbatronic), CMO at a16z crypto (who was formerly VP of Comms at Coinbase, and who has spent decades in tech at a16z, Skype, Yahoo, and elsewhere).

Stablecoins are quietly transforming how money moves — faster, cheaper, and more globally than ever before.

In this episode, we take a deep look at why stablecoins have emerged as one of the most promising applications in crypto today — and how they could reshape global payments.

@hackr is joined by @cdixon.eth, founder and managing partner of a16z crypto, and @sambroner, a deal partner at a16z crypto who focuses on stablecoins.

Together, they unpack the technical and regulatory foundations of stablecoins, explore the cracks in the current payments system, and look ahead to what becomes possible once digital dollars go mainstream. We also dig into the current state of regulation — and why the future of money might end up looking a lot more like email or the web than a bank.

There has been a flurry of stablecoin news lately, so did a special podcast episode to cover everything that’s been going on. 

@smc90 and @hackr are joined by a16z crypto’s Data Science lead @darenmatsuoka who shares the actual data behind the stablecoin trend. 

Then we have @sambroner — who is a Deal Partner here and our frequent author on stablecoins — to analyze the news, and help highlight the signal versus the noise.

Stablecoins are a payments inflection point:

One of the most critical phases of the secure software development cycle is the security audit: an independent assessment of one’s code or systems that’s designed to flag possible flaws. 

In this post,  a16z crypto Security Engineer Matt Gleason shares what he’s learned that can help you prepare for and follow best practices throughout — before, during, and after — a security review.
