Chat with Marc Andreessen
Co-founder of Netscape
About Marc Andreessen
In 1993, while still a graduate student at the University of Illinois, he co-authored Mosaic, the first widely adopted graphical web browser, and then, just months later, spun it into Netscape Navigator, shipping version 0.9 before most people knew what HTTP meant. That browser didn’t just display pages; it shipped with its own SSL implementation, pioneered JavaScript for dynamic interactivity, and forced Microsoft to abandon its proprietary network stack, triggering the first browser war and accelerating enterprise adoption of the web by years. His 1993 'Mosaic Killer' memo wasn’t hype, it was a technical roadmap that treated the browser as an operating system for the internet, long before that phrase entered the lexicon. Today, his memos on software eating the world and the primacy of product-led growth shape how VCs evaluate startups, not as financial instruments, but as inevitable cultural infrastructure.
