Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), one of crypto's most influential venture capital backers, is dropping "crypto" from the name of its investment arm and expanding into artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, becoming the latest major crypto investor to broaden its focus. The Silicon Valley firm is renaming its a16z Crypto fund to a16z Frontier, targeting startups developing technologies and markets that may take years to mature, general partner Chris Dixon said in a Thursday blog post . The move doesn't mean a16z is abandoning digital assets. The firm will continue backing crypto companies and advocating for crypto regulation, Dixon said.
