Claim

with their Anduril investment in 2017.

Correction

Andreessen Horowitz’s (a16z) investment in Anduril is publicly described by a16z and other sources as a Series B investment announced in October 2019 (and reported as part of a September 2019 round), not in 2017.

Full reasoning

The post claims a16z’s Anduril investment happened in **2017**. However, a16z’s own announcement says: **“Posted October 3, 2019”** and **“today, we are proud to announce our newest defense investment, Anduril Industries”**, and further describes it explicitly as a **“Series B investment”**. Independent reporting aligns with this timing: CNBC reports Anduril’s new fundraising round (published **Sep 11, 2019**) included capital from **Andreessen Horowitz**. Meanwhile, background on Anduril’s early history indicates the company was incorporated in **June 2017** and “seeded by Founders Fund” (not a16z) that year. Taken together, these sources contradict the claim that a16z’s Anduril investment was in 2017; the publicly documented a16z investment occurs in 2019 (Series B).
