Heavyweight Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, a backer of virtually all the hottest names among tech startups in recent years, has closed its fourth fund at $1.5 billion, matching the size of the fund it raised just two years ago.
The firm, founded in 2009 by Netscape Communications Corp. co-founder Marc Andreessen and Opsware Inc. and LoudCloud Inc. founder Ben Horowitz, is among a small number of firms that can raise and fairly quickly deploy funds of more than $1 billion.
