A viral parody claims a16z's new Horowitz Andreessen Academy has a biotech arm covering longevity, gene editing ("we've read about it, seems fine"), embryo optimization ("applying our investment thesis one generation earlier"), artificial wombs ("9 months is a long vesting schedule") and AI wet labs. First cohort "graduates either enlightened or radioactive by Q3 2027." A sharp satire of bio/acc VC culture.
