Andreessen Horowitz, a venture capital firm, tweeted a link to its guide on “building your social media presence” on Friday
The guide provides founders with guidance on topics such as “how to find your people” and “how often to post.”
The tweet’s timing was ironic in light of the social media hysteria that ensued on Friday following founder Ben Horowitz’s post on X. He was angry about an article in The San Francisco Standard that discussed his family’s political donations and accused his adversary, VC Michael Moritz, who owns The Standard, of orchestrating the story.
Jon Steinberg, the executive editor of The Standard, stated that he was responsible for assigning the article and that Moritz had no involvement in its creation.
Marc Andreessen, the founder of A16z, has also maintained a complex and occasionally antagonistic relationship with social media. He resigned from Twitter in 2016 due to its toxic nature, but he returned and rapidly reestablished a substantial following.
He was a member of the Meta board. He and VC Vinod Khosla engaged in a dispute regarding AI on the X platform (formerly Twitter) earlier this year. Andreessen Horowitz is an investor in the platform.
