More quotes by Marc Andreessen
I know where I'm putting my money.
Marc Andreessen
I've been an entrepreneur three times. I started three companies.
Marc Andreessen
One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it. What technologies tend to do is they tend to make a lot of mistakes... but then we go back and aggressively attack those mistakes - and fix them. And you usually recover pretty quickly.
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
There's always more demands than there's time to meet them, so it's constantly a matter of trying to balance them
Marc Andreessen
Over two billion people now use the broadband Internet, up from perhaps 50 million a decade ago, when I was at Netscape, the company I co-founded.
Marc Andreessen
There is a constant need for new systems and new software.
Marc Andreessen
Whatever you're selling, storage or networking or security, you're going head to head with the incumbent players.
Marc Andreessen
Start-ups should be based on radical ideas. There should be a high failure rate for start-ups, because if there isn't their ideas aren't bold enough.
Marc Andreessen
If you're the village blacksmith and a model T comes along, you better become a mechanic. People's lives are better when they get news online versus having to wait for the morning paper. It's a lot more efficient, a lot more real time, a lot less waste.
Marc Andreessen
I hope to someday live in a world where there are lots more Silicon Valleys.
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
The transformation of Apple is probably the biggest tech story of the last 15 years.
Marc Andreessen
The smartphone revolution is under-hyped, more people have access to phones than access to running water. We've never had anything like this before since the beginning of the planet.
Marc Andreessen
Newspapers with declining circulations can complain all they want about their readers and even say they have no taste. But you will still go out of business over time. A newspaper is not a public trust - it has a business model that either works or it doesn't.
Marc Andreessen
If the Net becomes the center of the universe, which is what seems to be happening, then the dizzying array of machines that will be plugged into it will virtually guarantee that the specifics of which chip and which operating system you've got will be irrelevant.
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
If I want to get work done, that's usually about 3 in the morning.
Marc Andreessen
Out of ten swings at the bat, you get maybe seven strikeouts, two base hits, and if you are lucky, one home run. The base hits and the home runs pay for all the strikeouts
Marc Andreessen
When I talk to entrepreneurs today, I feel like the grandfather who was in the Civil War.
