Andreessen Horowitz (A16z), the Silicon Valley, CA-based venture capital firm, on Friday said it raised $15 billion in its latest funding secured across five funds.
According to a blog post published by Ben Horowitz on the A16z website, about $6.75 billion will go towards scaling startups, $1.7 billion has been allocated to infrastructure, $1.7 billion for various apps, $1.176 billion for American Dynamism (investing in national interests like defense, housing, and supply chain), and another $700 million for biotech and healthcare.
There is also an extra $3 billion set to go to “other venture strategies.”
According to Horowitz, this latest funding accounts for over 18% of all venture capital dollars allocated in the United States in 2025. The firm wants to power the next growth phase of the technology industry in the United States.
Highlighting the country’s role in leading the world across various industries over the last 250 years, Horowitz said that given the current technological opportunity, presented by AI and crypto, “technological opportunity, it is fundamentally important for humanity that America wins.”
“Our mission is ensuring that America wins the next 100 years of technology. That starts with winning the key architectures of the future – AI and crypto,” he wrote.
The country will then continue applying those technologies to the key areas that generate human flourishing, including biology, health, defense, public safety, education, and entertainment.
Horowitz also highlighted the key steps the United States has taken towards ensuring America wins the tech race for the next 100 years, adding that if the country fails to push its policies of the country in the right direction, it will likely lose its position as the global leader in technology. “We have already seen the beginnings of this in both AI and crypto.”
