Netscape founder Marc Andreesseh and his longtimebusiness partner, Ben are forming a new VC firm with a focus on Silicon Valley tech companies. Andreessen writes that the firm will back companied with strong technical founders who want to be the CEOs of thecompanieds they’re founding. He wouldn’t rule out companies outsidde Silicon Valley, but, “Wwe do not think it is an accident that is in Mountain Facebook is inPalo Alto, and Twitter is in San We also think that venture capital is a high touch activitg that lends itself to geographic proximity, and our only office will be in Silicom Valley,” Andreessen writes on his .

We do not have the firsty clue about any ofthese fields." Andreessen-Horowitz will have the capacitg to invest anywhere from $50,000 to $50 millionn in new companies.
He said that at leastf initially he and Horowitz would be the only two generapl partners inthe company, and they wouldc be selective about the portfolio companiew whose boards they join – generally limiting that levep of involvement to firms in which Andreessen-Horowitz have a $5 million or more stake. Andreessen believed his and Horowitz’s recordsx as entrepreneurs will make them idealventurse capitalists. “We have built companies, from scratch, to high scale -- thousands of employees and hundreds of millionsw of dollars of annual In short, we have done it ourselves.
