Marc Andreessen’s call to action for entrepreneurs.
An expert from, “IT’S TIME TO BUILD“
In fact, I think building is how we reboot the American dream. The things we build in huge quantities, like computers and TVs, drop rapidly in price. The things we don’t, like housing, schools, and hospitals, skyrocket in price. What’s the American dream? The opportunity to have a home of your own, and a family you can provide for. We need to break the rapidly escalating price curves for housing, education, and healthcare, to make sure that every American can realize the dream, and the only way to do that is to build.
Building isn’t easy, or we’d already be doing all this. We need to demand more of our political leaders, of our CEOs, our entrepreneurs, our investors. We need to demand more of our culture, of our society. And we need to demand more from one another. We’re all necessary, and we can all contribute, to building.
Mr. Andreessen knows a thing or 2 about building - he played a CRITICAL role in how we ALL experience the internet - he essentially created the first web browser for Netscape.
The article is a deep read, which I haven’t fully done yet, but everyone in the tech/business/entrepreneur/news is raving about it.
Speaking of building, I have a confession… Not only have I BEEN building something, but we’re going to launch, SOON…
I know I’ve been teasing and teasing a project that me and my business partner have been building over the past couple of years, and although right now isn’t the right time, I promise that I will give you a proper introduction to the project in the coming weeks.
