Andreessen Horowitz raises $1.1B AI infrastructure fund
Andreessen Horowitz today announced that it has raised a $1.1 billion fund to back artificial intelligence infrastructure startups.
The Machine Age Fund will invest in companies that make data center equipment such as chips, memory and networking gear. Andreessen Horowitz also plans to prioritize providers of edge AI hardware. The venture capital firm listed smart home appliances and robots among its focus areas.
The Machine Age Fund will expand Andreessen Horowitz’s existing AI investment program. Over the past two years, the firm has invested in more than a half-dozen AI infrastructure startups across a range of market subsegments.
In 2025, Andreessen Horowitz backed a company called Heron Power Inc. that develops transformers for data centers. A transformer lowers the voltage of the electricity that comes out of power plants to a level suitable for distribution.
