According to a16z Podcast, consumer technology veteran Josh Elman has joined Andreessen Horowitz. Elman brings two decades of experience helping to shape major platforms — from LinkedIn and Facebook to Twitter, TikTok, Discord, and Apple. In a new episode released Tuesday, Elman joins a16z's Anish Acharya to explore how artificial intelligence could unlock an entirely new generation of consumer products. They discuss shifts in discovery and distribution, lessons from previous platform transitions for today's founders, and what still remains unexplored in consumer technology. The conversation also touches on product fundamentals — retention, network effects, product-market fit — and how the relationship between technology and human behavior continues to shift.
