AH Capital Management, LLC

To back bold entrepreneurs building the future through technology.

Founded in 2009 by Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, a16z is a venture capital firm with over $100 billion under management that invests from seed to growth stage across AI, bio + healthcare, consumer, crypto, enterprise, fintech, games, infrastructure, and American dynamism. The firm distinguishes itself through its platform model — a large team of operators spanning marketing, talent, legal, and policy who work alongside investors to support founders at every stage. Many general partners are former founders and operators themselves, bringing firsthand experience to their investments. With offices in Menlo Park, San Francisco, Miami Beach, New York, and Santa Monica, a16z operates with a cloud-first philosophy and distributed workforce that materializes physically when needed to support portfolio companies.

Products

a16z invests across multiple specialized verticals including AI and infrastructure, crypto, American Dynamism (defense, manufacturing, climate), biotech, fintech, consumer, and gaming. Beyond capital, the firm provides extensive operational support through its platform model — dedicated resources for talent acquisition, marketing, sales, and government relations designed to accelerate portfolio company scaling. The firm also operates a media division that helps founders build brand legitimacy through podcasts, newsletters, and content distribution. Notable portfolio companies include Airbnb, Coinbase, and Databricks. In 2023, a16z expanded into wealth management with the launch of the 'a16z Perennial Venture Capital Fund' targeting high-net-worth individuals.

Funding

Starting with $300 million in 2009, a16z has grown into one of the world's largest venture capital organizations. In January 2026, the firm raised over $15 billion across five new funds, including a $6.75 billion growth fund, bringing total assets under management to more than $90 billion. The firm also raised $4.5 billion for its crypto fund in May 2022. Major institutional investors include the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) and sovereign wealth funds like Sanabil Investments. This rapid growth reflects a16z's ability to deploy capital quickly while generating significant returns for limited partners.
