AI Venture Winners Will Be Larger, Faster, and Harder to Identify

Andreessen Horowitz general partner David George and VenCap CIO David Clark argue that AI has broken several of venture capital’s old assumptions at once: the largest companies are scaling revenue faster, potential outcomes are getting much larger, and early leadership is proving less durable. George’s core test for AI winners is whether they are “in the token path” — directly tied to the flow of AI usage and spending — while Clark stresses that the same market may produce unprecedented exits and unusually fast turnover among apparent leaders.
