a16z invests in a lot of companies. Have you done an analysis across all companies a16z has invested in to see which of these descriptors are key?

- female founder

- secrecy

- non-proven prototype

Might make for some interesting reading.



a16z is arguably the cream of the crop of VCs; I'm not talking about their overall investment outcome.

what I'm talking about is, in that instance, they made a decision based on emotions not data.

smart VCs should ALWAYS make data driven decisions. not emotions.


What is your evidence that a16z made their decision to invest in Theranos in any way differently from how they decide to invest in any other company?
