Andreessen Horowitz (A16z) continues to build its scout network across Europe after shuttering its London office early last year.

The firm now boasts 30+ scouts actively hunting deals in key markets, leveraging local expertise to spot promising early‑stage companies. These scouts operate with a high degree of autonomy, providing A16z with a front‑line view of emerging opportunities.

A16z’s strategy includes a mix of seasoned entrepreneurs and fintech specialists, with a notable emphasis on sectors such as AI, SaaS, and green tech. The team’s reach spans from Berlin to Barcelona, covering a wide array of startup ecosystems.

Recent metrics show the network has identified 69 new funding rounds, 26 partnerships, and 87 potential portfolio additions in the past year. The expansion underscores A16z’s commitment to maintaining its leadership role in the European venture landscape.
