Katie Haun Has a Crypto Fund of Her Own; Crypto Miners Pan for Gold

Katie Haun’s decision to leave Andreessen Horowitz to start her own crypto and Web3 fund gives a big stamp of approval to these spaces. Andreessen Horowitz has been steadily building its crypto team and raising massive funds dedicated to the industry. But Haun’s willingness to strike out on her own shows her confidence in crypto. 

After joining Andreessen Horowitz in 2018 as the VC firm’s first female general partner, Haun established a strong track record in crypto. She led Series A and B funding rounds for OpenSea and investments in decentralized finance platform Celo, blockchain-backed data storage system Arweave and Royal, a platform for music non-fungible tokens, or NFTs.
