a16z Launches Horowitz Andreessen Academy in San Francisco

Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) is investing $35 million to establish a new school, the Horowitz Andreessen Academy (HAA), with the first cohort of 50 students expected to begin in the fall of 2027. The initiative reflects a shift in Silicon Valley's approach to education and talent development, moving away from traditional academic paths toward accelerated, venture-backed professional training.
