New Comm Biz

These four articles came into my feed back to back. Of any serial entrepreneur out there, he’s the one I admire the most. I’ve never had the chance to meet Mark but I hope to someday. I was a loyal subscriber to his blog before he took a break for almost a year. He posted today for the first time. I really hope he keeps it up.

Andreessen was the man behind Netscape, Opsware (which he sold to HP for 1.6 Billion while I was there), Ning (which he started while still doing Opsware) and is involved either as a board member or angel investor in Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. Not to mention about 45 other investments.

He has recently raised a 300 Million Venture Fund. I have no doubt that it (and the companies he invests in) are going to be hugely successful. I’m going to geek out and say that he may just be the single greatest entrepreneur of our time.
