Marc Andreessen on why the product is the most important thing for a tech CEO to understand: “You better have somebody running the company who really understands those products.” “In the technology industry, that’s usually a technologist.” “The alternate model seems to work better, which is the technologist who basically picks up the skills to become a CEO along the way.” “This is a very difficult, challenging thing to do. Nobody ever said it would be easy.” @pmarca at Fortune Brainstorm 2009: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4KfTEltF2A(a16z)
