Hi, this is Frank Chen. Welcome to the A16Z podcast. This episode is part two of a series called What's Next for Education Startups. It originally aired as a YouTube video. And you can watch all of our YouTube videos at YouTube.com slash A16Z videos.

Hi, this is Frank Chen. Welcome to the A16Z network. I'm very excited today to share a

conversation I had with Connie Chan, one of our general partners. Connie is one of the world's

experts on trends, especially consumer trends in China and tech. And today we're going to talk about the future of lifelong learning.

And she's going to share a few examples of very awesome startups in China.

She's super interested in what's happening with Gen Z consumers.

She's very interested in real estate and how people are finding homes, preparing their homes to be listed on Airbnb,

renting homes, so on and so forth.

She's also very inspired by things that entrepreneurs are doing in China that might have applicability here in the United States.

She helped us find our investments in Line and

Pinterest and I think you're going to have, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation

that I had with Connie. And I have to tell you a funny story before we get started. So we

did not synchronize our sweaters. We've known each other so long that we just knew to come in the same color family.

So Connie was my first hire at Andreessen Horowitz.

Adam Rifkin introduced us to Adam at one time and may still be the most connected person on LinkedIn.

And his whole heart and mission is to connect people.

And so when I told Adam, I was looking

for the best ideal partner ever. He went and found Connie. And I'm so thrilled that you've

been here for so long. And now are a general partner looking to make investments. So welcome.

Thank you. Thank you. So today we're going to talk about, we're going to continue our series in education

and talk a little bit about ongoing education.

And we're so excited about the things that we can do as adults to continue to learn new things.
