I remember going to A16Z a few years ago, and everybody was called Partner. Looking at Connie's LinkedIn profile it looks like she too was "Partner" and then promoted to "General Partner". Does that mean the "Partner" title is kinda BS and they only really mean Partner when you are a GP?

Yes, a16z famously lets everyone call themselves “partner” as a form of title arbitrage

However, I've heard partners at a16z get carried interest in the funds to which they are connected. So the title isn't actually far off.

Funny article. Surprisingly useful (as someone who is not part of VC Twitter)
