Andreessen Horowitz American Dynamism

Andreessen Horowitz's American Dynamism track sits inside a16z, the venture firm founded in 2009 and now managing more than $100 billion across multiple funds. The theme backs companies building toward American dynamism across defense, space, manufacturing, and energy, and it sits inside a platform that works across seed, venture, and growth stages. It is an equity program, not a grant. Checks run from about $1 million to $100 million, with a median around $10 million, and the fit points to for-profit US strategic companies at roughly TRL 3-9. The route is rolling and sits inside a seed-to-growth venture platform rather than a fixed application calendar. The strongest fit is a founder building infrastructure-heavy or strategically important systems that can use a large venture partner. Its scope is broader than defense alone, but this track centers on strategically important industrial sectors. a16z adds talent, recruiting, go-to-market, legal, and policy support alongside capital, so teams that can absorb a hands-on investor and still meet a standard VC bar are the most natural match.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
