More quotes by Marc Andreessen
In short, software is eating the world
Marc Andreessen
People who tell computers what to do, and people who are told by computers what to do.
Marc Andreessen
Technology is like water it wants to find its level. So if you hook up your computer to a billion other computers, it just makes sense that a tremendous share of the resources you want to use - not only text or media but processing power too - will be located remotely.
Marc Andreessen
Only two people have been on the cover of Time Magazine in bare feet. I'm one, the other is Gandhi.
Marc Andreessen
Nokia and Research in Motion needed a modern operating system. They could have bought Palm or Android before Google did, but they didn't. Today, it's probably too late, and at the time they would have been criticized for overpaying, but as they say - shift happens.
Marc Andreessen
The gulf between what the press and many regular people believe Bitcoin is, and what a growing critical mass of technologists believe Bitcoin is, remains enormous.
Marc Andreessen

Marc Andreessen
In 2000, when my partner Ben Horowitz was CEO of the first cloud computing company, Loudcloud, the cost of a customer running a basic Internet application was approximately $150,000 a month.
Marc Andreessen
Where I grew up, we had the three TV networks, maybe two radio stations, no cable TV. We still had a long-distance party line in our neighborhood, so you could listen to all your neighbors' phone calls. We had a very small public library, and the nearest bookstore was an hour away.
Marc Andreessen
There was a point in the late '90s where all the graduating M.B.A.'s wanted to start companies in Silicon Valley, and for the most part they were not actually qualified to do it.
Marc Andreessen
All's fair in love, war and ride-sharing.
Marc Andreessen
An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in.
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
I always had the old-school model that I'm going to work for as long as I'm relevant and focus on for-profit activities and someday when I retire I'm going to learn about philanthropy.
Marc Andreessen
I've been a customer of the top venture capital firms, so I know exactly what they do and don't do.
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
If you're unhappy, you should change what you're doing.
Marc Andreessen
It's an old - and true - cliche that VCs rarely actually say 'no' - more often they say 'maybe', or 'not right now', or 'my partners aren't sure', or 'that's interesting, let me think about it'
Marc Andreessen
A lot of things you want to do as part of daily life can now be done over the Internet.
Marc Andreessen
