Marc Andreessen
There are people who are wired to be skeptics and there are people who are wired to be optimists. And I can tell you, at least from the last 20 years, if you bet on the side of the optimists, generally you’re right.
Marc Andreessen
We have never lived in a time with the opportunity to put a computer in the pocket of 5 billion people.
Marc Andreessen
You are cruising along, and then technology changes. You have to adapt.

I've been a customer of the top venture capital firms, so I know exactly what they do and don't do.
Marc Andreessen

Marc Andreessen
Google is working on self-driving cars, and they seem to work. People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better.
Marc Andreessen
When you're dealing with machines or anything that you build, it either works or it doesn't, no matter how good of a salesman you are.
