a16z names first 50 fellows in its Ops Engineering Fellowship
Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) announced the inaugural cohort of its Ops Engineering Fellowship, an eight-week program for leaders it says are transforming their organizations with AI. The firm said it received thousands of applications from around the world before selecting 50 fellows, drawn from companies including Ramp, Decagon, Luma AI, Opendoor and ElevenLabs. According to a16z, many fellows work at the intersection of operations and engineering, building internal tools, designing data and context layers for agents, and deploying agentic workflows with human checkpoints.
The cohort gives a concrete snapshot of how venture firms are packaging the emerging "operations engineering" role, in which staff design agent context layers and human-in-the-loop workflows rather than only writing code.
