Full case study available → Loops AI × a16z Speedrun — Co-Counsel with Wilson Sonsini (cross-border TR/U.S. architecture and the WSGR co-counsel workflow).

Vircon Legal advised Loops AI as co-counsel with Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati on Loops AI’s USD 1 million investment from a16z Speedrun, the early-stage program of Andreessen Horowitz focused on games, tech and the intersection of consumer software with AI.

Loops AI is an AI-driven product company building tools at the intersection of generative AI and creative software workflows; the team focuses on shipping consumer-grade AI products that turn complex generative pipelines into accessible end-user experiences. The product surface and roadmap position Loops AI as a category builder in the AI-native creator stack, where the competitive battleground has moved from raw model access toward opinionated, end-to-end product design.

The AI-native creator tooling segment is one of the fastest-moving categories in consumer software, with model capability resetting roughly every quarter and distribution dynamics that reward teams shipping with both speed and design taste. Backing from a16z Speedrun — structured to compress the early-stage feedback loop and connect founders directly with the firm’s consumer and games operators — positions Loops AI to iterate against a global user base from day one. For Turkey-rooted founding teams operating across U.S. and Turkish entities, getting the cross-border legal architecture right at the first institutional round materially de-risks later financings and any future strategic exit.

a16z Speedrun is the early-stage accelerator program of Andreessen Horowitz, one of the most influential venture firms in the world; the program backs founders building at the intersection of games, consumer tech and AI — providing capital, distribution and access to the firm’s broader operator network. Vircon Legal partnered with WSGR — one of the U.S.’s leading technology law firms — to advise Loops AI on the cross-border legal architecture of the transaction.
