Marc Andreessen

"Software is eating the world."

"The best product ideas come from solving a problem you have yourself."

"The most valuable businesses of coming decades will be built by entrepreneurs who seek to empower people rather than to make them obsolete."

"Big breakthrough ideas often seem crazy at first. If they didn't, someone else would have already done them."

"In the future, there will be two kinds of jobs: those where you tell a computer what to do, and those where a computer tells you what to do."

"Retail is going to go the way of newspapers. Most retailers are going to go out of business."

"Strong views, loosely held."

"The spread of computers and the Internet will put jobs in two categories. People who tell computers what to do, and people who are told by computers what to do."

"There are only two ways to make money in business: One is to bundle; the other is unbundle."

"The #1 reason people fail in startups is they don't make something people want."

"The product-market fit is when you build a product that creates significant customer value. It's the only thing that matters."

"It's time to build."
