Reid Hoffman co-founded LinkedIn in 2003, and last year he sold the company to Microsoft for more than $26 billion; he now has a seat on the Microsoft board. Along the way, he became one of Silicon Valley’s most influential investors and connectors as a partner at Greylock Partners.

    Marc Andreessen is playing the interview.
  • @ouss
    Andreessen always deliver
  • @nbme-answers
    Reid knew if he took that outside seat he would be even more marginalized in this conversation than he already was. With most of the attention going to pmarca, at least he would be in-frame while Andreessen flexed that big beautiful brain of his. Long live our golden boy, the University of Illinois's own Marc Andreessen ;-)

    Interviewer seems to think she's quite clever while speaking with men who actually are. Her jokes are obvious and all at their expense, as in; "Look how brave I am to stand up to these titans of industry!"
  • @William_Clinton_Muguai
    "U never get boring Mac Andreessen." Oh his beautiful way of contrasting & articulating things.❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • @RicardoMalla
    fire that interviewer and more respect to these geniuses. this lady was arrogant and rude
  • @TomsDone
    Interesting interview, and Andreessen is clearly a smart and interesting guy, but the criteria for authority/integrity in the media is whether they tell the truth about the present, not whether they can predict the future. (Predicting the future is how you make money!)

    I love the way Marc chuckled on the tiny celebration the host made after getting him to confirm he is pro-immigration. Class acts and incredibly smart people, both of these guys.

    Honestly, I disagree with the comments below. She doesn't have an obligation to 'be nice'. Nowadays, people are just too used to fluffy journalism and smiling hosts. In fact, watching it I kept noticing how they didn't let her speak [most times she cut them off, it was because they were trying to give a cherry-pie answer or deviate from the original question being asked]. It's actually quite rare nowadays to see interviewers who can put on a straight face and say, "That was not the question that was asked".
  • @qwertyqart
    Andreessen has phenomenal capacity of holding opposing views while operating at normal level - swinging back and forth between Obama is a dictator to he's weak and ineffective and then bringing up Breibart talking points on Obama not closing Guantanamo etc...

    As Marc expected 6 years later and no one is worried about Midwest jobs market. I don't think SF journalists have brought any jobs to my relatives.....at least a lot of them are starting to see the light.
