a16z · x · 2026-07-17
a16z highlights Mintlify's hiring framework, noting that the team is currently recruiting for roles across product, engineering, sales, success, marketing, and operations.
Their core principle when facing a new problem is to ask two questions first: Can it be solved through automation or agents? Can it be resolved by improving processes? Only if both answers are no do they hire more headcount.
