SF dating meme: announcing 'I found love' in the group chat, and everyone worries he's not a16z-backed

A piece of San Francisco tech-culture folklore: the poster's friend announced "I found love" in the group chat. Everyone replied congrats while holding back memes—if the guy isn't "post-economic" or backed by a16z, the joke goes, they may have "lost her to the civilian world."
The bit captures how the SF AI/VC scene jokingly treats wealth status and funding pedigree as dating currency.
