Defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton said Friday it is committing $400 million into Andreessen Horowitz's most recent set of funds.

Why it matters: These are the first LP stakes that Booz Allen Hamilton is taking in any VC funds. 

It currently has a corporate venture capital arm that focuses more on early-stage, with this deal largely growth-focused.

Driving the news: Booz Allen is investing throughout the funds in a16z's most recent $15 billion fundraise, not just its defense-leaning American Dynamism fund.

Booz Allen is open to any company that that could have government mission applications, executive vice president Bryce Pippert wrote in an email to Axios.

In its earnings filing, the company said it expects to fund at least $76 million in the first quarter of 2026.

Zoom out: The Trump administration's government contracting refresh is opening the doors to more tech companies winning government as a customer.

Flashback: Last week, Booz Allen Hamilton and Andreessen Horowitz announced a partnership in which Booz would lend its decades of government contracting know-how to a16z portfolio companies.

In return, Booz would become faster, with more tech embedded in its offering in the long run.

The bottom line: Their strategic partnership isn't just lip service.
