Investing in American Dynamism, With Ben Horowitz and Katherine Boyle

Venture capitalists know what it feels like when a company is
firing on all cylinders. But it’s been a while since the whole
country had that feeling of dynamism—so why not focus on
companies that help the cause by supporting the national
interest, solving critical problems, and doing fundamentally new
things? Rob and Jackie sat down with Ben Horowitz and Katherine
Boyle of the leading VC firm Andreessen Horowitz to talk about
investing in American dynamism.
