Marc Andreessen
We have never lived in a time with the opportunity to put a computer in the pocket of 5 billion people.

We call it the 'Rule of Crappy People'. Bad managers hire very, very bad employees, because they're threatened by anybody who is anywhere near as good as they are.
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
The transformation of Apple is probably the biggest tech story of the last 15 years.
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.
