Q: How many Trevor Noahs does it take to change a light bulb?Ī: One, but he has to wait for Jon Stewart to retire first. Today, Jacob makes his debut on #Greymatter! Greylock’s head of editorial Heather Mack talked with Jacob about the current environment for consumer social, his investment focus areas, and what he learned from working with Snap founder Evan Spiegel: #ai #consumertech #social #venturecapital We are excited that Jacob will carry forward our track record in consumer tech.

Greylock has partnered with founders building massive consumer platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Airbnb, Roblox, Discord, & Nextdoor. He has lived the journey from the earliest stages to becoming a global platform: During his time at Snap, he helped scale the company to more than 360M DAUs and $4.5B in revenue. While at Snap, he ran teams with hundreds of people across #product, #design, #growth, #datascience, #analytics, and #userresearch. Jacob’s experience scaling teams and platforms will make him an incredible partner to founders. Snap is one of the defining consumer companies of the last decade, and Jacob led the development and launch of some of the company’s most successful initiatives, including Spotlight and My AI, which is Snap’s AI Chatbot powered by ChatGPT. Jacob joins us after 8 years at Snap Inc., where he most recently served as SVP of Growth. Jacob Andreou is the newest general partner at Greylock, where he'll back founders building the next generation of consumer software.
