It’s always great to hear about a successful entrepreneur. But what about when they luck out a few times with a highly successful product?
Well that’s just what Marc Andressen has done. First Marc co-founded Netscape Communications, and basically started the commercialization of the Internet. Marc then jumped in with the AOL team as CTO when they bought Netscape out in the heat of the dotcom heydays of 1999. Since leaving AOL, Marc and his team of Executives have been working on Opsware, a public company whose software technology supports customer systems via an automated server life cycle management.
HP has agreed to buy Opsware for more than $1.6 Billion.
As a member of Time’s Top 50 people under the age of 40 in 1994, Andressen’s ideas have enabled people to venture onto the internet, and lead businesses to the incredible amounts of advantages the internet can give them.
Keep your eyes on Marc, he’s is definitely another entrepreneur who’s ideas and work turn to gold.
