– This post satirizes Halter, a New Zealand agtech startup raising $2B from Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund for solar-powered cow collars that enable virtual fencing and health tracking on 700k

animals, by reimagining the tech for monitoring a16z VC associates’ activities like token burns and investments.

– The parody critiques VC firm dynamics, exaggerating surveillance and “agentic” management under Marc Andreessen, with the collar beeping to enforce thesis boundaries, echoing Halter’s app-based herding but for human “herds” in tech hubs.

– Accompanying image edits Halter branding onto photos of diverse a16z associates wearing collars in San Francisco, overlaid with “the associates have now rotated out of web3,” poking fun at rapid sector pivots in venture capital.
