Marc Andreessen
I love what the Valley does. I love company building. I love startups. I love technology companies. I love new technology. I love this process of invention. Being able to participate in that as a founder and a product creator, or as an investor or a board member, I just find that hugely satisfying.
Marc Andreessen
My goal is not to fail fast. My goal is to succeed over the long run. They are not the same thing.
Marc Andreessen
