Marc Andreessen
b. 1971
The venture capitalist who wrote the tech right's manifesto and walked into the war room.
Marc Andreessen — Netscape founder, co-founder of the venture firm a16z — is the ideologue of the tech right: author of a 'techno-optimist' manifesto that reads as a political program, a financier whose money reaches into Israeli surveillance startups, and an investor who embedded himself directly in the Trump transition to help staff and steer the incoming government.
