Post Body

I tried Pylon a few months ago, and at the time, it was barely functional, more like an early prototype than a usable product. Seeing a16z lead a $17M Series A for them is surprising—it feels more like a figure for acquisition than investment.

That said, a16z is far more experienced at spotting potential. They likely see something I don’t: perhaps a strong team, a scalable vision, or untapped market potential. Still, I can’t help but wonder what I’m missing that justifies this level of confidence in Pylon’s future.
