Paused Talent x Opportunity diversity fund after 5 years supporting underserved founders

Mar 1, 2025

reactive

In March 2025, Andreessen Horowitz paused its Talent x Opportunity (TxO) fund, which since 2020 had supported 60+ companies from underserved communities including women and minority founders. Several employees were laid off in October 2024. The Fearless Fund lawsuit created legal precedent making such programs 'extremely vulnerable.'
