Building the future of Gaming with Andreessen Horowitz (A16Z Games) #222

Last on the Esports World Cup series from the New Global Sports
Conference, the Sports Tech Allstars Podcast presents: Andrew
Chen, General Partner of Andreessen Horowitz.





Andrew Chen is a General Partner for A16Z GAMES, focused on the
intersection of tech and gaming — this includes AI, studios,
infrastructure, and consumer apps.


We talk about gaming, fantasy sports and esports in depth.
Followed by the things that eSports and gaming could learn from
sports to enhance itself, and how storytelling is key in all of
it. What are the stories? How do you create that conflict? How do
you create these anchor events to bring that together?





Andrew is a prolific writer and for the past decade, he’s written
hundreds of essays at andrewchen.com on the topics of startups
and user growth. He is the author of the best-selling business
book THE COLD START PROBLEM, published by Harper Business, which
explores how new startups launch and scale by leveraging network
effects. Prior to joining a16z, Andrew led the Rider Growth teams
at Uber, and worked at a number of venture-backed startups.
