Chris Dixon

General Partner, a16z crypto (Founder & Lead)

100%

Andreessen Horowitz (a16z)

Check: $1M-$100M+ (from $2B+ crypto funds — 5th fund raising in 2026)

The crypto conviction investor. Founded and leads a16z's crypto practice, which has deployed billions across five funds. Author of 'Read Write Own' (2024), arguing that blockchain enables a new era of internet ownership — the 'own' in 'read, write, own.' Just as the read-only web (Web 1.0) gave way to the read-write web (Web 2.0/social media), the next era is one where users can own their digital assets, identities, and communities through blockchain. Believes crypto goes through 'price-innovation cycles' — price increases attract attention and talent, which drives innovation, which creates real utility, which eventually drives the next price cycle. Has maintained conviction through multiple crypto winters, arguing that the technology's utility compounds regardless of price. Before crypto, Chris was one of the most influential thinkers in tech investing — his blog (cdixon.org) was arguably the most important startup blog of the 2010s, producing frameworks like 'the next big thing will start out looking like a toy' and 'come for the tool, stay for the network.' Believes crypto is entering its 'financial era' — where blockchain-based financial applications (stablecoins, DeFi, tokenized assets) prove real-world utility at scale.
