More new venture managers are trying to raise new funds, bucking a slump in venture capital fundraising. The latest: Michelle Volz, a partner at Andreessen Horowitz on the American Dynamism team, is leaving the firm and raising her own fund to invest in the same type of startups, according to a person with direct knowledge of the fundraising efforts.

Volz is targeting $50 million for her debut fund, which will back pre-seed and seed startups focused on national security. That includes sectors such as defense, aerospace, manufacturing and industrials. Her plans to depart and the fundraising talks have not been previously reported.
