Andreessen Horowitz Launches Tech Academy as Alternative to College for High School Graduates
Andreessen Horowitz has launched the Horowitz Andreessen Academy (HAA), a full-time, in-person tech school in San Francisco designed as an alternative to traditional college for high school graduates. Supported by major tech firms like Nvidia, OpenAI, Meta, and others, the two-year program emphasizes hands-on projects, mentorship from industry leaders, and exposure to entrepreneurship. The academy aims to prepare students for technology careers by combining expert-led courses with real-world experiences, reflecting a shift in some tech circles questioning conventional university education.
