🎙 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.
