A16z acqui-hires VC tech podcaster Erik Torenberg, who joins as new partner | TechCrunch
Briefly

Andreessen Horowitz continues to expand its team, recently hiring Erik Torenberg and acquiring his Turpentine podcast. This podcast, known for interviewing various VCs about their investment strategies, aligns well with a16z's content approach. Torenberg, an experienced investor who has worked at notable firms such as Product Hunt and Village Global, brings a wealth of knowledge. His addition is expected to enrich a16z’s focus on creating content that includes insights from venture capitalists, which complements their ongoing corporate projects.
Torenberg's podcast focuses mostly on interviewing VCs at a variety of firms about their approach to investing.
Torenberg makes sense as a hire for a16z, though. Beyond the pod, he was an early employee at Product Hunt, and has been a successful angel investor and pro VC.
