Newcomer's VC Directory is updated with several new heavyweights! There’s a lot of marketing and spin when it comes to venture capital. VC firms’ websites and thought pieces often leave core questions unanswered: Who is in charge? How much money does that firm really have to invest? With our VC Directory series, we give you an easy-to-digest guide to some of the most important firms in the Valley. For this latest installment, we’re adding must-know details on six Silicon Valley heavyweights: Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Y Combinator, Bain Capital Ventures, IVP, and Spark Capital. They’re joining eleven firms that we’d already entered into the directory: Benchmark, Index Ventures, Lightspeed, General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, Kleiner Perkins, Greylock, Bessemer Venture Partners, Accel, and New Enterprise Associates (NEA). Their entries have all been updated as partners have joined and left, deals have been made, and funds have been raised. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/eQizqA8b

New in Newcomer: The investor behind our current defense tech moment. Founders Fund General Partner Trae Stephens has had a hand in many of the venture world’s most important defense tech deals. A veteran of an unnamed three-letter intelligence agency who says he’s always been motivated by public service, he left the government first to join Palantir Technologies, and then Founders Fund. Stephens has climbed to what is effectively the number two spot there by doing exactly what Founders Fund partners dream of doing — bucking the conventional wisdom and defying political pieties. Stephens co-founded the iconic defense tech company — Anduril Industries — with Palmer Luckey, back when the tech world was not as friendly to defense. Now, in a moment of increasing geopolitical tensions, Stephens is tasked with bringing both Founders Fund and Anduril through to the next chapter. https://lnkd.in/e5_Yx63A

New Funds, New Era for Andreessen Horowitz. For Newcomer this week, we broke down how the firm's latest $7.2 billion fundraise is a marker for what's "in" and "out" in VC world these days, and which GPs are leading the new charge. American Dynamism and AI are hot, while consumer and enterprise SaaS deals are slower. Since its founding in 2009, a16z has positioned itself as “a different kind of VC,�� and now with its massive size and extensive set of services for founders, it may well be that. But its investment theses for these new funds fit right in line with the hype categories of our current moment, and with the sheer number of investments, a16z looks in some ways like an index fund for hype-y startups. Get an in-depth breakdown of the true power players at the firm in our VC DIrectory. https://lnkd.in/e-sRsT38

2moGreat stuff and so needed. Agreed that many VC external channels are shrouded in mystery. Not helpful for startups trying to find out who's behind the money. Thanks for helping to open the curtain! 💫
