[Gagan Biryani 🏛 @gaganbiyani]

Today, we’re launching an ambitious new school called The Horowitz Andreessen Academy.

Based in San Francisco, The Academy serves the most promising young high school graduates.

We think this can be an elite institution that attracts top tier talent. One that prepares students for the future rather than remaining stuck in the past.

The #1 goal is to help students learn to build, which is the most important skill in the AI era. They'll learn primarily by pursuing their own projects, either individually or in groups. There are classes and guest lectures, too, from some truly amazing people who have built modern-day Silicon Valley.

The Academy is designed as a network, since that’s the reason students go to school in the first place. Core to that network are our 10 Founding Partners: Anduril, Anthropic, Coinbase, Google, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Palantir, Replit, and Stripe. The network includes over 50 hiring partners and over 200 speakers and mentors. To join as a hiring partner or faculty member, you can apply on our website.

We raised $42M in funding led by @a16z. I'll be CEO and @pmarca and @eriktorenberg will join me on the board.

Applications are open for our Founding Class Fellowship, which will be one year and tuition-free. Eventually, pending regulatory approval, we plan to offer a two-year program that charges tuition, similar in cost to an elite private university.

We're looking for the most unusually ambitious young builders on the planet. Come join us in San Francisco:

I’ve been wanting to build this for a decade, and Gagan and I almost teamed up to do it 6 years ago. Can't wait for the first class.
