Andreessen Horowitz is launching a tuition-free AI school as a college alternative
The Horowitz Andreessen Academy will accept about 50 students in Fall 2027, with founding partners including Google, OpenAI, and Stripe
Andreessen Horowitz, a prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firm, has announced plans to launch a private school in San Francisco aimed at training high school graduates to become startup founders. The academy, which will be tuition-free, will provide instruction in subjects such as designing AI systems, fundraising, and storytelling, with courses taught by tech entrepreneurs.
Students will focus on building real projects, rather than taking tests or completing homework. The school will provide students with $50,000 worth of computing credits and a $5,000 travel and research budget. Notable Silicon Valley figures, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, are expected to serve as instructors or guest lecturers.
The academy is seeking to enroll around 50 students in its one-year fellowship program, with plans to expand to a two-year program in the future. The academy is receiving funding from tech executives, including Fidji Simo, Garry Tan, and Tobi Lütke.
