Raghu Raghuram
Raghu Raghuram is a General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), where he focuses on AI infrastructure and growth-stage investments. Born Rangarajan Raghuram, he spent nearly two decades at VMware - joining when it was a five-year-old startup and leaving as its CEO after guiding the company through the largest software acquisition in history: Broadcom's $69 billion deal. Before VMware, Ben Horowitz hired him at Netscape during the browser wars. That 30-year relationship brought him back together at a16z in October 2025, where he now helps lead the firm's AI infrastructure charge while serving as a consigliere to Horowitz himself.
