A16Z is a numeronym that represents the venture capital firm
Andreessen Horowitz. The numeronym is the first and last letter of the firm
with the character count in-between.
Numeronyms are somewhat of an insider's joke for developers as
most non-techies wouldn't be aware of the concept. Other common numeronyms
include I18N (for internationalization) and L10N (for localization).
Marc
Andreessen is considered by many to be a living legend in Silicon Valley. As
the co-founder of Netscape, he is widely considered the father of the modern Web browser. As such, his VC
investments are tech-centric.
