Andreessen Horowitz, also known as a16z, raised $15B for an array of companies in 2025, which accounted for 18% of venture capital dollars allocated in the U.S. during last year, as the firm wants U.S. tech to dominate globally.
These fresh funds were directed towards American Dynamism ($1.176B), Apps ($1.7B), Bio + Health ($700M), Infrastructure ($1.7B), Growth ($6.75B), and other venture strategies ($3B).
“As the American leader in venture capital, the fate of new technology in the United States rests partly on our shoulders,” said Andreessen Horowitz cofounder and general partner Ben Horowitz. “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. It continues with applying those technologies to the key areas that generate human flourishing: biology, health, defense, public safety, education, and entertainment. And it culminates with the American government adopting these technologies to defend and advance American interests.”
The venture capital firm has helped some of the world’s top emerging artificial intelligence companies raise funds, such as Cursor, OpenAI (OPENAI) and Mistral AI. It has also backed hundreds of other tech and consumer companies, such as Figma (FIG), Okta (OKTA), Roblox (RBLX) and Airbnb (ABNB).
“If we fail to push the policies of the country in the right direction, America will likely lose its position as the global leader in technology,” Horowitz added. “We have already seen the beginnings of this in both AI and crypto. And if America’s position as the global leader in technology slips, it’s not long before everything else slips with it.”
