■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 2 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

Katie Haun, former Andreessen Horowitz general partner and federal prosecutor, has raised $1 billion across two new investment vehicles. The funds will split capital between early-stage and later-stage startups focused on financial services, AI, and alternative assets.

Haun's new funds target companies at the intersection of traditional finance and emerging technology sectors. One fund focuses on seed and Series A investments, while the other backs more mature startups preparing for growth or exit. The former digital assets investigator brings regulatory expertise and crypto industry knowledge to the investment thesis. Her background as a federal prosecutor informs her due diligence on compliance-heavy sectors including fintech and digital finance. The $1 billion raise reflects investor appetite for thematic funds addressing multiple mega-trends: AI integration in financial services, blockchain-based alternatives to traditional asset management, and tokenized holdings. Haun previously spent time at Andreessen Horowitz building their crypto practice during earlier market cycles. Her new independent vehicle signals sustained investor confidence in AI-finance combinations and blockchain applications beyond pure cryptocurrency plays.
