The Horowitz Andreessen Academy

The Horowitz Andreessen Academy is a selective, residential, one-year educational fellowship in San Francisco for unusually ambitious young people after high school or during the first two years of college, co-founded by Gagan Biyani. Its project-based model centers on personal projects, startup ideas, research interests, short courses taught by technology founders and operators, relationships, work inside leading companies, and real-world experience through co-ops. The published September 2027–August 2028 schedule includes a period abroad and a co-op placement. The first year is tuition-free and includes a $5,000 per-student travel stipend.
