Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed: Marc Andreessen
by Scott Edward Walker on January 17th, 2011To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.” Each week, we post a short video clip of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics to help entrepreneurs succeed.
This week, we again present Marc Andreessen, a brilliant entrepreneur and co-founder and general partner of the venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz; he is also co-founder and chairman of Ning. In this interesting, two-minute clip (courtesy of Stanford University’s Entrepreneurship Corner), Marc discusses the general criteria for a successful, high-tech startup: (i) Is there a big market? (ii) Is there a “10x change” happening in the landscape? and (iii) Is the team outstanding? I hope you enjoy it. Many thanks, Scott
