Andreessen Horowitz on X 

Andreessen Horowitz, known publicly as a16z, is a United States venture firm that presents itself as a platform for builders rather than a quiet partnership that only writes cheques. On a16z.com the house still frames software as eating the world and organises work across named focus areas: artificial intelligence, American dynamism, bio and health, consumer, crypto, enterprise, fintech, growth, infrastructure, games, and a cultural leadership fund. The About copy says a16z pioneered a platform model—operators in marketing, talent, legal, and policy sitting beside investors who are themselves former founders. Those sentences are a16z’s own yardsticks. They are not an independent census of funds, companies, or returns, and they are not a reason to paste a pitch deck into a public comment thread. The firm writes that it invests from seed through venture and growth-stage technology companies. It publishes news, podcasts, and essays, including a Techno-Optimist Manifesto and a global college talent programme. A figure of more than one hundred billion dollars under management across multiple funds appears on the official About page with an as-of date the firm supplies. Treat that number as a16z’s published snapshot, not as a live net-asset-value feed and not as a solicitation to invest in any fund. a16z does not take public subscriptions through X, LinkedIn, or YouTube. Official X is a16z. Official LinkedIn is the a16z company page. Official YouTube is @a16z. Those channels carry essays, partner notes, portfolio colour, and event films. They are not a fundraising desk, not a data room, and not a place to wire capital, share bank details, one-time passwords, or cap-table files. Anyone who DMs a warm-intro fee, a wire instruction, or an OTP request is not the firm. Application and contact routes belong on a16z.com. Counterparties are founders, limited partners who already have a relationship, journalists, and people who want the public research a16z chooses to post. None of this is investment advice, an offer of securities, or an invitation to commit capital. Follow the official pages for the platform venture firm, then verify every fund name, sector list, and assets-under-management figure at the source rather than treating a social clip as a private-placement memorandum.
