Andreessen Horowitz Growth

Andreessen Horowitz Growth was established in 2017 to capture opportunities in late-stage technology companies that had already achieved product-market fit and were scaling toward public markets. Led by partners including David George and Peter Levine, the Growth fund represents a16z's expansion beyond their traditional early-stage focus into larger, more mature opportunities. The fund typically writes checks ranging from $50M to $200M+ into companies that are category leaders in their respective markets, often participating in pre-IPO rounds or providing growth capital for international expansion and market consolidation. Notable investments include late-stage rounds in companies like Airbnb, Stripe, and Databricks, helping these companies navigate the transition from private growth to public company readiness. The Growth fund leverages a16z's operational platform and network effects, providing portfolio companies with executive recruiting, business development, and strategic guidance typically unavailable from traditional growth investors. What sets this fund apart is their ability to combine growth-stage capital deployment with the entrepreneurial mindset and operational support that characterizes a16z's approach across all stages.
