Two Huge Exits Boost a16z’s Megafund Model
Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) saw two major outcomes this week: SpaceX closed its acquisition of Cursor for $60 billion in stock, and Stripe agreed to acquire OpenRouter for around $8 billion, according to reporting. The combined value of a16z’s stakes in the two companies is reported to be north of $8 billion on roughly $320 million of investment. The deals were driven by a16z’s infrastructure practice led by general partner Martin Casado and involved other a16z personnel including Matt Bornstein and Chris Dixon. The story also highlights large reported revenue run rates at frontier AI firms (Anthropic, OpenAI), ongoing DOJ scrutiny of a16z over board seats, and broader implications for mega-funds, IPOs, and private-market liquidity.
DOJ Probe Targets Andreessen Horowitz Board Seats
The U.S. Department of Justice has been investigating Andreessen Horowitz’s board-seat arrangements for nearly a year, according to Bloomberg and TechCrunch, examining whether partners serving on boards of companies that later compete violates Section 8 of the Clayton Act — a rarely used antitrust provision. The probe focuses on Ben Horowitz’s seat at Databricks (valued at about $190 billion) and Martin Casado’s seat at Fivetran (which combined with dbt Labs in June). TechCrunch’s Equity hosts and several VCs expressed puzzlement about the probe’s priority, duration, and the firm’s relative silence, noting possible political context. Observers warn enforcement could force investors to relinquish seats, adopt “Chinese wall” firewalls, or otherwise change venture governance, potentially using a16z as an example that influences smaller firms.
