More quotes by Marc Andreessen
There is a constant need for new systems and new software.
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
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 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
Rule 1: All rules can be broken. Many (ex-legal and ethical) should be. Most people won't.

Google is working on self-driving cars, and they seem to work. People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better.
Marc Andreessen
Working for a big company is, I believe, much risker than it looks.
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
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
At Microsoft, they all rock back and forth like Gates, they wear the same glasses, they have the same hair style. Maybe they grow them in tanks.
Marc Andreessen
The transfer is guaranteed to be safe and secure, everyone knows that the transfer has taken place, and nobody can challenge the legitimacy of the transfer. The consequences of this breakthrough are hard to overstate.
Marc Andreessen
The transformation of Apple is probably the biggest tech story of the last 15 years.
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
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
An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in.
Marc Andreessen
There is the opportunity to do more and better if you're smaller and more nimble.
Marc Andreessen
When I started Netscape I was brand new out of college and all the aspects of building a business, like balance sheets and hiring people, were new to me.
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
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
