TechCrunch Surpter 2025 will be coming to Moscone West in San Francisco on October 27-29 to bring together over 10,000 startups and VC leaders to chart the next thing in technology. And then, on October 27th, Andreessen Horowitz's David George will be on the premier industry stage to be revealed, taking the microphone for a side chat in the fireplace focusing on one of the most important and misunderstood decisions in the lifecycle of the company.
What to expect from this fireside chat
In this conversation, George unlocks what the next generation of scaled startups need to know. From the changing dynamics of IPO timing to the rise of secondary markets and the expectations investors have now placed on founders long before their public debut. This is not just about reaching the exit. It's about preparing one strategically and early in a market where nothing is guaranteed.
In the growth playbook with David George of the A16Z
As the general partner of the A16Z, George leads the company's growth investment team, falling behind many of its biggest, largest, gradual bets. His resume includes growth investments in companies such as Airbnb, Slack, Opendoor, AppDynamics, and Uber.
Before joining A16Z, George spent seven years at Atlantic General, working beyond consumer internet and enterprise software. He began his career in investment banking and private equity, but it is his track record as a growth-stage investor that places him at the heart of today's evolving venture situation. Whether capital is free to flow or difficult to come, George knows what separates companies that endure from companies that are stagnant before the finish line.
