Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Netscape, and partner Ben Horowitz have closed on a $300 million new venture fund, according to the web site All Things Digital.
The Andreessen Horowitz fund is oversubscribed from the initial target of $250, sources told the web site.
“Several major institutional investors–from universities, for example–have invested large chunks of up to $20 million or more, while a spate of Silicon Valley luminaries has put in amounts of $1 million or less,” All Things Digital reported.
Andreessen, a serial entrepreneur, disclosed plans to raise the fund in February, telling TV interview Charlie Rose that he was “crossing over into the dark side.”
