Marc Andreessen, co-founder of a16z, clarified that he had sent a $50,000 research grant to Terminal of Truths and its creator, but he is not personally associated with GOAT.

According to Foresight News, Marc Andreessen, co-founder of a16z, clarified that "this summer I sent a $50,000 unconditional research grant to Terminal of Truths and its creator Andy Ayrey. This grant was intended to support independent AI research, and the results have been outstanding. However, I have no connection to the GOAT memecoin. I was not involved in its creation, I am not participating in it, nor do I hold it."
