Jennifer Li
Infra Investing Team
About
Jennifer Li is a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, where she leads infrastructure investments with an eye on data systems, developer tools and AI. She has a soft spot for open source and a hard bias toward products that take gnarly technical problems and turn them into elegant and simple solutions.
She serves on the boards of ElevenLabs, fal, Mintlify, Mux, Pylon, Rasa, Reducto, Stainless and Stacker, and is a board observer at Fivetran, Ideogram, Motherduck, NX and Vantage.
Before a16z, Jennifer led product at Solvvy (acquired by Zoom), building conversational AI for customer experience, and earlier ran self-service and analytics products at AppDynamics (acquired by Cisco for $3.7B). She was a Kleiner Perkins Product Fellow in 2016.
Born and raised in northern China, Jennifer moved to the U.S. for school and never stopped building. She holds an MS in Software Engineering from Carnegie Mellon and an MS in Technology Management from RPI. When she’s not partnering with founders or mapping tomorrow’s platforms, Jennifer is often found traveling with her family, reading, or tending her garden — usually with a mental sideline on the next platform shift.
