Job description

Founded in Silicon Valley in 2009 by Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, Andreessen Horowitz (aka a16z) is a venture capital firm that backs bold entrepreneurs building the future through technology. We are stage agnostic. We invest in seed to venture to growth-stage technology companies, across AI, bio + healthcare, consumer, crypto, enterprise, fintech, games, and companies building toward American dynamism. a16z has $100B+ under management across multiple funds.
We've established a team that is defined by respect for the entrepreneur and the company-building process; we know what it's like to be in the founder's shoes. Our team is at the forefront of new technology, helping founders and their companies impact and change the world.
a16z crypto aims to foster innovation, accelerate progress, grow and enable the crypto ecosystem to thrive in the U.S. - and bring the best of blockchains/crypto/decentralization to the world. (When we say "the best" of crypto, we mean the more productive, not purely speculative, uses of blockchains that can deliver on many benefits that people beyond the crypto industry want and need.) a16z crypto supports the crypto portfolio through engineering and security, go to market, regulatory and legal, research, talent and recruiting, as well as marketing - which includes an editorial content operation.
This is a rare opportunity for a motivated student to learn from and have a front-row seat at a "direct media" operation - a model pioneered by this team for over a decade at a16z - that has published influential podcasts and other content distributed in various formats and platforms: written articles on our website, newsletter on Substack, videos on YouTube, and more. The team is composed of established editors coming from both traditional, established media outlets and in-house content marketing operations, so this person will learn from a range of models and approaches. The intern will also participate in all editorial meetings - from production and pitch to growth and social to team discussions and other brainstorms - and will also have occasional exposure to our broader crypto marketing team, which includes top communications and events experts.
This is a part-time, remote internship.
The Role
  • This is primarily a multimedia and social media-focused editorial internship that also touches broader editorial projects
  • You will assist with the production of editorial content, especially multimedia - including helping to create and produce short-form video clips for YouTube and social media (in coordination with our technical A/V editors) such as by hands-on identifying, time-stamping, and editing highly compelling clips, YouTube thumbnails, and social copy
  • You will help expand our clipping operation, including more strategically defining and refining our approach and strategy
  • You will produce, overhaul, and update podcast shownotes; clean up, segment by topic, and help time-stamp transcripts; and perform occasional research and preparation for episodes
  • Help edit content as fitting - this could be anything from taking transcripts of partner interviews and turning it into posts, taking full posts and repackaging, or helping write and edit new posts. Update past content archives for site metadata (tagging taxonomy, etc.) and other content maintenance as required
  • Help produce special series and projects, from data reports to op-eds to other media packages
  • Help with basic or other editorial design (including working with various designers) as needed
To join our team, you should be excited to:
  • Be obsessed with YouTube, podcasts, Substack newsletters, industry reports, and all kinds of media - often observing and analyzing various media experiments to see what works and doesn't, why, and having opinions on the best editorial content, strategies, and processes
  • Be able to execute, not just theorize - we value doers over talkers
  • Make things happen in a fast-paced team and maintain focus in an oft-noisy industry environment
  • Be professional, discrete, and always put team first - we don't want people who hype themselves or their work, but focus on helping our experts and our companies look great
  • Be able to work independently yet also under the direction of many
  • Be able to multitask, meet multi-threaded deadlines, and show quality and attention to detail
  • Handle internal information with the utmost ethics, discretion, and confidentiality - including being able to work on content under compliance in regulated industries
Minimum Qualifications
  • Have excellent written and verbal communication skills, including past experience in other media outlets, conducting publishing and other experiments of your own, or building social media profiles
  • Strong interest in technology, science, computer science - or specific passion projects - where you can go deep
  • Some familiarity with crypto is helpful but not required
  • Technical experience with various multimedia editing tools is preferred but not required
  • Previous experience in a media environment preferred though not required - how do we know you can do the job? Tell us, or better yet, show us by sharing a portfolio of samples - whether pieces or clips you wrote, produced, or helped with in any way
  • Highly productive with great organizational or analytical skills
  • Low ego, high empathy, and the capacity to collaborate effectively with diverse teams

The anticipated hourly rate for this role is $35/hr, actual starting pay may vary based on a range of factors which can include experience, skills, and scope.
a16z culture
  • We do only first class business and only in a first class way
  • We take a long view of relationships, because we are in the relationship business
  • We believe in the future and bet the firm that way
  • We are all different, we recognize that, and we win
  • We celebrate the good times
  • We do it for the team
  • We play to win

At a16z we are always looking to hire the absolute best talent and recognize that diversity in our experiences and backgrounds is what makes us stronger. We hire candidates of any race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital or family status, disability, Veteran status, and any other status. These differences are what enables us to work towards the future we envision for ourselves, our portfolio companies, and the World.
