EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Anish Acharya is a General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, investing in consumer and enterprise AI. His take on the classic Silicon Valley advice: go deep or go home. Not a hundred million free users, but 41,000 people paying $200 a month. In this conversation, Anish explains the math behind narrow startups, why there are no marketing problems and only product problems, and why predicting TAM is a fool's errand. He breaks down silver bullets versus lead bullets, the one pricing question every founder should ask, and the three traps that convince founders they have product-market fit when they don't. Recorded in 2025. Some product details and pricing may have changed since filming. --- Brought to you by: Begin your 2-week free trial with Attio, the AI-native CRM platform to power your growth 👉 https://attio.com/eo --- 00:00 Intro 01:19 Go Deep or Go Home 05:14 EO Partner Highlight 06:10 Narrow Startups 09:45 Build for Pull, Not TAM EO is a global media brand for builders.
