More quotes by Marc Andreessen
One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it.
Marc Andreessen
In short, software is eating the world
Marc Andreessen
Qualified software engineers, managers, marketers and salespeople in Silicon Valley can rack up dozens of high-paying, high-upside job offers any time they want, while national unemployment and underemployment is sky high
Marc Andreessen
Whatever you're selling, storage or networking or security, you're going head to head with the incumbent players.
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
If you're unhappy, you should change what you're doing.
Marc Andreessen
China is very entrepreneurial but has no rule of law. Europe has rule of law but isn't entrepreneurial. Combine rule of law, entrepreneurialism and a generally pro-business policy, and you have Apple.
Marc Andreessen
I've been an entrepreneur three times. I started three companies.
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
I hope to someday live in a world where there are lots more Silicon Valleys.
Marc Andreessen
In the next 10 years, I expect at least five billion people worldwide to own smartphones, giving every individual with such a phone instant access to the full power of the Internet, every moment of every day.
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
Once you understand that everybody's going to get connected, a lot of things follow from that. If everybody gets the Internet, they end up with a browser, so they look at web pages - but they can also leave comments, create web pages. They can even host their own server! So not only is everybody consuming, they can also produce.
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
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 would say the consumer Internet companies - in a lot of ways, if you go inside the consumer Internet companies and you see how they run, it's how all their businesses are going to run.
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
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
In the startup world, you're either a genius or an idiot. You're never just an ordinary guy trying to get through the day
Marc Andreessen
When I talk to entrepreneurs today, I feel like the grandfather who was in the Civil War.
