San Francisco-based venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (A16z) is aiming to create the largest fund in its history, valued at $20 billion. This fund will focus on investing in growth-stage artificial intelligence (AI) companies in the U.S. and is being launched in response to growing global investor interest in American startups.
A16z has informed its investors (LPs) that the fund will be dedicated to investing in AI companies at the growth stage, and it will make it easier for international investors to back U.S.-based companies. This move aligns with President Trump's tariff plan, which encourages manufacturing in the U.S.
To raise such a large sum, A16z has been meeting with investors worldwide. International investors view this fund as an easier way to invest in U.S. AI companies. The firm’s founders, Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, revealed last year that they supported Donald Trump, which has helped them gain significant recognition among other prominent figures in Silicon Valley.
