Marc andreessen biography

Born: 1971
Cedar Falls, Iowa
Cofounder, Netscape Communications Corporation

Marc Andreessen has been called many things in his young life—from boy wonder and "Golden Geek" to visionary and "Internet Evangelist"—all because he helped develop an Internet browser called Netscape Navigator.

In the days when the Internet and World Wide Web were in their infancy, Andreessen's ability to simplify the information superhighway not only made him millions of dollars but thrust him into cutthroat competition with huge rival Microsoft.

Although he later quit Netscape after it was acquired by America Online (AOL), Andreessen turned his attention to forming a new company that would continue to bring the Internet to millions of people.

"Right now, today, with a little luck and brains and timing, any kid with a computer can do what Netscape has done.

There are no barriers to entry anymore. Any kid can spark a revolution."

Boy Genius?
