Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed: The Story of Marc Andreessen

by Scott Edward Walker on May 4th, 2011

To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series entitled “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.”  Each week, we post a video clip of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics.  This week, we present the story of Marc Andreessen, a brilliant, visionary entrepreneur and now co-founder and general partner of the venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz.

In this interesting video (courtesy of Bloomberg), entrepreneurs can learn about (i) Marc personally (“from the barefoot kid… to a connector of the Silicon Valley ecosystem”) and the browser wars; (ii) what it takes to build a successful company (“get it out the door”); (iii) leadership generally (“you could feel the energy and excitement” “he had passion and focus”); and (iv) how a company can be crushed by “poking the sleeping bear.”  I hope you enjoy it.  Many thanks, Scott
