Booz Allen Hamilton announced a new strategic partnership with venture‑capital firm Andreessen Horowitz on January 12, 2026, to speed the delivery of advanced technology solutions to U.S. government agencies. The alliance will leverage a16z’s portfolio of startups in artificial intelligence, autonomy, and electronic warfare, allowing Booz Allen to embed these innovations into national‑security and civilian missions more quickly.
The partnership will focus on several high‑impact areas. Booz Allen will work with a16z portfolio companies such as Anduril, Shield AI, Databricks, and Mistral AI to co‑develop and certify products for secure, regulated government environments. The collaboration will also create joint intellectual property for new commercial offerings, expanding Booz Allen’s technology moat and opening new revenue streams in high‑margin AI and cyber services.
Booz Allen’s financial performance in fiscal year 2025 underpins the strategic rationale for the partnership. The company reported $12.0 billion in revenue, a 12.4% year‑over‑year increase, and $1.315 billion in adjusted EBITDA, maintaining an 11.0% adjusted EBITDA margin. Backlog rose to $37.0 billion, reflecting strong demand for its advanced technology services. The partnership is expected to accelerate the commercialization of Booz Allen’s AI and cyber capabilities, potentially boosting future revenue streams and reinforcing the company’s position as an advanced‑technology integrator.
Management emphasized the strategic fit of the alliance. Chairman and CEO Horacio Rozanski said the partnership would combine a16z’s preeminent VC network with Booz Allen’s proven ability to build advanced tech and accelerate its adoption, driving America’s tech supremacy. Ben Horowitz, co‑founder of a16z, highlighted the portfolio’s leaders—Anduril, Databricks, Mistral AI, and Shield AI—as building new platforms that are reinventing business and government, and expressed enthusiasm about connecting these solutions to critical civilian and defense missions.
No market reaction data was identified in the fact‑check report, but the partnership signals a significant shift in Booz Allen’s strategy toward leveraging external innovation to meet the evolving needs of federal agencies.
