Andreessen mocks General Catalyst viral ad with boardroom spoof Woof AI campaign

Published on 16 May 2026

A mock boardroom ends with executives calling the pitch garbage

Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen escalated his public disagreement with General Catalyst by posting a boardroom spoof video on X. The staged meeting, branded as General Catalyst, features a pitch for the fictional robotic dog “Woof AI,” punctuated by executives reacting with sharp, dismissive remarks. Andreessen had already criticized the original 55-second campaign as condescending and compared it to Mac vs PC commercials—arguing the message makes the sponsor seem negative. General Catalyst has not replied.
