Why Software is Eating the World

from Founder's Journal Hosted by Morning Brew

Episode 117: Just under 13 years ago, Marc Andreessen proclaimed that software would transform every industry. He couldn’t have been more right; software did eat the world. 7 of the 10 largest companies in the world today are technology or software businesses, and Andreessen Horowitz, the investment firm Marc founded in 2009, grew to become the largest VC in the world. Today, we’re going to be reading Andreessen’s 2011 essay to understand the rationale behind his future predictions, and how the patterns he spotted could be applied to today’s business landscape with the growth of AI.
