Andreessen Horowitz Closes $1.1B 'Machine Age Fund' for Chips, Robotics & Data Centers
Andreessen Horowitz has closed its Machine Age Fund at $1.1 billion, dedicated to companies building physical-world technology: chips, memory, networking hardware, storage systems, data centers, robotics, and connected devices.
The fund crystallizes 2026's biggest capital rotation — money moving from software subscriptions toward physical infrastructure. August's largest checks went to data centers, home batteries, chip supply chains, and payment rails rather than SaaS.
For engineers, the signal is career-relevant: hardware-adjacent software skills (embedded systems, infrastructure automation, silicon-aware ML) are entering a funding supercycle.
