Terms of Use

General

Please read the following terms and conditions (“Terms”). They govern your use of this website and its associated services, including but not limited to any associated content distribution platforms, including any platforms requiring registration of access credentials (collectively, “the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time and any modifications will be effective immediately upon posting unless we indicate otherwise. If you use the Services after any changes to the Terms have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. We suggest that you review these Terms periodically for changes.

Except as otherwise noted on the Services, all content and material on the Services — including information, photos, videos, graphics/charts, icons, code, design, and overall appearance — are the property of AH Capital Management, LLC (“Andreessen Horowitz” or “a16z”) or the respective SPEEDRUN participants and should not be used, modified, or reproduced without prior written consent. All trademarks, trade names, and logos displayed on the Services are the property of Andreessen Horowitz, its affiliates, the SPEEDRUN participants, or their respective third-party owners, and the Services grants no license to them. ANDREESSEN HOROWITZ, A16Z, and SPEEDRUN are registered trademarks in the United States and/or other countries and may not be used without the prior written permission of Andreessen Horowitz.

Andreessen Horowitz is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Services are intended solely to provide general information about Andreessen Horowitz and its SPEEDRUN program and participants. Nothing in the Services is directed at nor should be relied upon by any investors or prospective investors in any vehicle managed by Andreessen Horowitz. Andreessen Horowitz does not intend to solicit or make its investment advisory services available to the general public.

Under no circumstances should any information provided in the Services be considered as an offer soliciting the purchase or sale of any security or interest in any pooled investment vehicle sponsored, discussed, or mentioned by Andreessen Horowitz nor should it be construed as an offer to provide investment advisory services. Such offers or solicitations will be made separately and only by means of the confidential offering documents of the specific pooled investment vehicles which should be read in their entirety, and only to those who, among other requirements, meet certain qualifications under federal securities laws. Such investors, defined as accredited investors and qualified purchasers, are generally deemed capable of evaluating the merits and risks of prospective investments and financial matters. There can be no assurances that Andreessen Horowitz’s investment objectives will be achieved or investment strategies will be successful. Any investment in a vehicle managed by Andreessen Horowitz involves a high degree of risk including the risk that the entire amount invested is lost.

Any companies described or referred to in the Services are not representative of all investments in vehicles managed by Andreessen Horowitz and there can be no assurance that the companies described are, or will be, profitable or that other investments made in the future will have similar character or results. A list of investments made by funds managed by Andreessen Horowitz is available here: https://a16z.com/investments/. Excluded from this list are investments for which the issuer has not provided permission for Andreessen Horowitz to disclose publicly.

Any opinions expressed in the Services reflect Andreessen Horowitz’s views or those of individual SPEEDRUN participants or posters, and are subject to change. Certain information contained in the Services has been obtained from third-party sources, including directly from the SPEEDRUN participants. While taken from sources believed to be reliable, Andreessen Horowitz has not independently verified such information and makes no representations about the enduring accuracy of the information or its appropriateness for a given situation. The discussions and opinions expressed herein are not intended to provide investment, accounting, tax, or legal advice. Nothing in the Services is a recommendation that you purchase, sell or hold any security or other investment, or that you pursue any investment style or strategy. The content of this website is presented on an “as is” basis with no warranties, express or implied, of any kind with respect to the Services.

Certain statements that individual personnel make may constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Privacy Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. To the extent any information herein constitutes forward-looking statements (which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipation,” “upside,” “potential,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “target” or “believe” or comparable terminology), please note that, due to various risks and uncertainties, actual events, results, or performance may differ materially from those reflected or contemplated in such statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Andreessen Horowitz expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the event it later turns out to be inaccurate — whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Any projections, estimates, forecasts, targets, prospects and/or opinions expressed in these materials are subject to change without notice and may differ or be contrary to opinions expressed by others.

Past results of Andreessen Horowitz’s pooled investment vehicles, investments, or investment strategies are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Registration with the SEC does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Additional important information about Andreessen Horowitz, including our Form ADV Part 2A Brochure, is available at the SEC’s website, http://www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
