Andreessen Horowitz Bio + Health
a16z's life sciences practice investing across biotech, digital health, and health system transformation.
A16z Bio brings serious firepower and deep pockets, but you're getting the full Andreessen treatment - meaning lots of platform resources but also high expectations and board oversight. They're genuinely helpful on business model design and scaling challenges, especially if you're building something that intersects tech and bio. The partners actually know healthcare, which is rarer than you'd think. Downside: they're not afraid to bring in new management if things go sideways, and their brand attracts competitor attention early.
