Andreessen Horowitz $15 Billion Fund: Doubling Down on 'American Dynamism'
Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) has raised a massive $15 billion fund to invest in growth, defense, and infrastructure. Explore the details of the 'American Dynamism' strategy.
Silicon Valley powerhouse Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) just closed a massive $15 billion in new capital, signaling a aggressive bet on the future of American technology. This haul represents about 18% of all venture capital raised in the U.S. last year and is more than double what the firm raised in 2024.
Andreessen Horowitz $15 Billion Fund for American Tech Dominance
According to a blog post by co-founder Ben Horowitz, the firm believes it's fundamentally important for humanity that America wins the technological race. "If America fails to win technologically, it will lose economically, militarily, geopolitically, and culturally," Horowitz wrote. The capital will be deployed across several specialized funds designed to bolster what the firm calls "American Dynamism."
| Fund Category | Allocated Amount |
|---|---|
| Growth Fund | $6.75 Billion |
| Infrastructure & Apps | $1.7 Billion each |
| Venture Strategies | $3 Billion |
| American Interests (Defense/Aero) | $1.2 Billion |
| Biotech & Health | $700 Million |
Strategic Pivot to Defense and Infrastructure
The firm's focus has increasingly shifted toward hard tech and national security. Existing portfolio companies include Elon Musk's SpaceX, Palmer Luckey’s defense unicorn Anduril, and automated manufacturer Hadrian. This surge in defense investment aligns with President Donald Trump's proposal for a $1.5 trillion defense budget, aiming to reindustrialize the American military base.
