Only a handful of companies in history have crossed the $1T, $2T, $3T, $4T, and now even $5T market cap levels — and it shows just how powerful innovation, scale, and long-term compounding can be. What stands out: • Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Amazon dominate the upper tiers • Nvidia is the fastest company ever to climb these milestones • Tech + AI + cloud + semiconductors are driving historic wealth creation Why this matters: Reaching trillion-dollar status isn’t luck — it’s the result of durable competitive advantages, massive global demand, and consistent execution. Long-term investors benefit by owning great businesses and letting time do the work.

We went back to the investors at a16z to keep the conversation going on the biggest problems builders will tackle in 2026. Our job as investors is to live inside the details of every corner of tech, so we can see where things are actually heading. This time, ideas span AI-native manufacturing, the physical perception layer, the electro-industrial stack, and autonomous labs.

Most creators are writing like the feed is a classroom. It’s not. It’s a checkout line. So if you’re wondering why “good content” keeps underperforming, it’s usually not the idea. It’s the way the idea is presented. People don’t reject value, they reject effort. Your job is to make the value feel effortless to consume. Here’s the part nobody tells you. Carousels don’t win on intelligence, they win on momentum. Every slide should remove doubt, not add it. If a slide makes someone think “wait, what does that mean?” you’ve created friction. Friction triggers the swipe. A simple test I use before posting: read the first line on every slide only. If the story still makes sense, your structure is strong. If it becomes random, you’ve written paragraphs, not a carousel. And if you want the biggest cheat code: make your headline and your subline do different jobs. Headline grabs. Subline clarifies. If both are doing the same job, you’re wasting space. If neither clarifies, you’re relying on hope. Want more? Comment “beast mode” for info on my mastermind.

There are 2 kinds of posts that "work" on Instagram: 1. SUPER professional content -- it's beautiful, highly edited, professional. It looks like it's straight out of a Hollywood film 2. The complete opposite. It's raw, real, imperfect, AUTHENTIC! Most people fall somewhere in the middle -- Some editing, a couple of little tweaks, a preplanned script, a cheesy hook If you want to actually get view on Instagram, either go ALL IN on editing and go pro OR go ALL IN on being human and be real

This chart puts market history into perspective. Over 152 years, the S&P 500 has delivered positive returns far more often than negative ones — despite wars, recessions, inflation, crashes, and rate cycles. Key lessons from the data: • Volatility is normal • Down years happen — and recoveries follow • Long-term averages matter more than short-term forecasts • Time in the market beats timing the market Even after major drawdowns, the market’s long-term trend has remained up and to the right. The biggest risk isn’t short-term losses — it’s not staying invested long enough.

Find the 2-3 that works best for you and start creating.

Marc Andreessen, co-founder of a16z and early internet pioneer, has long argued that traditional “career planning” is fundamentally flawed. He argues that the world changes too quickly to map out a long-term career in advance and attempting to do so often limits your ability to capitalize on real opportunities. Instead, Marc encourages individuals to focus on developing skills and staying alert to opportunities that arise spontaneously.

Nvidia IPO’d in 1999 with a $562M market cap — and has since delivered +450,000% total returns, turning $100 into $450,000. But here’s what most people miss 👇 This journey wasn’t a straight line. Nvidia had multiple years of brutal drawdowns: • -82.8% (2002) • -76% (2008) • -50% (2022) Yet patient investors who held through volatility captured one of the greatest wealth-creation stories in market history. Key lesson: Massive long-term returns require patience, conviction, and emotional discipline. The biggest winners often feel the worst to hold in the short term.
