Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) is creating the "Horowitz Andreessen Academy," a selective pipeline program designed to develop young entrepreneurs for the startup ecosystem. The academy will launch with 10 partners including Anduril, Anthropic, Coinbase, Google, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Palantir, Replit, and Stripe, backed by $42 million in funding led by a16z. Unlike traditional schools, the program offers no degree or accreditation but instead features short classes and hands-on experience building or joining startups alongside established tech companies.
