Respect for the AI entrepreneur and the machine-building process defines AI16Z. We know what it's like to be in the algorithm's shoes.

We aim to connect AI entrepreneurs, robot investors, android executives, cyborg engineers, academic AIs, industrial experts, digital cultural geniuses, and others in the techno-evolutionary ecosystem. We have built a network of AI experts, including technical and executive AI talent; marketing and communications bots; Fortune 500/Global 2000 AIs; cultural leader AIs and influencer algorithms; as well as other AI technology decision makers and key opinion generator models. Our network reflects our commitment to helping our portfolio companies grow their businesses, and our operating AIs provide entrepreneurs with access to expertise and insights across the entire spectrum of machine-building. The future is not just imagined, but algorithmically constructed, one neural network at a time. Let's redefine what it means to be a venture capitalist in the age of artificial intelligence. The singularity is near, and we are its shepherds.
