Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen on Friday shared a video on X responding to a viral advertisement by General Catalyst, escalating a public exchange that has drawn attention on the internet.

The video posted by Andreessen shows a staged boardroom scene featuring General Catalyst branding, where a presenter pitches a fictional product, reportedly the viral robot dog "Woof AI". The clip depicted executives listening to the pitch and reacting during the meeting saying, "Your idea is garbage."


Andreessen’s post followed his earlier criticism of the original General Catalyst advertisement, which introduced a fictional concept in a 55-second promotional video released earlier this week featuring a robotic pet designed to eliminate the burdens of owning a real dog.


Andreessen called the campaign “condescending” and criticised its messaging in multiple posts. He also compared it to the Mac vs PC commercials, saying the idea was creative but made the sponsor look negative.

General Catalyst has not publicly responded to Andreessen’s latest post.
