Funding Announcement
Former Andreessen Horowitz investor Katie Haun announced on Monday in a press release that her firm has raised $1 billion across new funds to continue its thesis of backing crypto and blockchain.
The capital will be spread across startups at early and later stages, according to Bloomberg. Within the crypto and blockchain space, it will be used to back startups focused on:
- Alternative assets (e.g., gold and other commodities) – see the coverage by TechCrunch
- The agentic economy
- Financial services
The firm hopes to deploy the capital globally over the next two to three years. Haun left a16z in late 2021 and launched her own venture firm shortly after, in 2022. The firm now manages more than $2 billion in assets under management, according to PitchBook, and its portfolio includes Palmer Luckey’s Erebor Bank and the crypto‑finance company Ellipsis Labs.
