  • Andreessen Horowitz raised $7.2 billion across several new venture funds focused on gaming, AI, and companies supporting U.S. national interests
  • The firm allocated $600 million to a new gaming fund that will invest in Web3, GameFi, and AI-integrated gaming projects
  • Andreessen Horowitz did not allocate any additional funding to its existing $4.5 billion crypto fund

Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) announced that it has raised $7.2 billion to invest across several tech sectors including gaming and artificial intelligence. However, the firm is not allocating any additional funds to crypto investments.

New Funds Focused on Gaming and AI

The majority of the new funds, $3.75 billion, will go towards a16z’s Growth venture strategy which provides early-stage funding to startups across various sectors. Another $1.25 billion was allocated to the Infrastructure fund focusing on AI, computing and data companies. The Apps fund received $1 billion to invest in consumer, enterprise and fintech applications.

Of the remaining $1.2 billion, $600 million will be used to start a second gaming-focused fund under the leadership of general partner Andrew Chen. This fund will target gaming innovations like AI, VR/AR, Web3 and generative AI. Part of the $600 million will also support an accelerator program for gaming startups launching later this year.

The other $600 million is for a new American Dynamism fund that will invest in companies supporting U.S. interests in areas like aerospace, defense, education and manufacturing.

No New Crypto Investments

Notably, a16z’s $4.5 billion crypto fund did not receive any additional funding as part of this latest raise. According to a16z co-founder Ben Horowitz, each focus area requires deep expertise, so it’s better to have dedicated investors rather than cross-training across very different domains like crypto, biotech and gaming.

The targeted fund structure aims to connect founders with investors who have specialized knowledge and networks to increase the likelihood of success. As Horowitz stated, “A great investor with the right help, the right networking and the right expertise at the right time can be the difference between success and failure.”
