Supporting companies that are at a turning point of growth

Our Investment Thesis

In each era, there are a set of companies executing on unusually big visions for emerging categories, and we want these companies to be supported with a venture mindset that supports long-term vision and greater innovation risks. The a16z growth fund serves the great new companies that are at an inflection point of growth and may still need further company-building and scaling.

If early-stage venture is about asking “What if it works?”, then later-stage venture is about asking “Is it working?” Just as early-stage investing requires deep vertical expertise, later-stage venture requires deep expertise in the financial evaluation of businesses. And regardless of stage, all of our portfolio companies can draw upon our network of experts and expertise across the entire spectrum of company-building, in executive and technical talent, go-to-market, corporate development, and brand/marketing, to help achieve their goals.
