Financially speaking, Marc Andreessen believes Facebook's on the right track. Today, the man with ties to Netscape, AOL, and Ning - and who also happens to sit on Facebook's board - supplied some big figures with respect to the social networking company.
Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz have started a new venture capital firm called (appropriately) Andreessen Horowitz.
Andreessen serves on the boards of both eBay and Facebook, and is a chairman of the board of Ning, which he also co-founded. His biggest claim to fame was co-founding Netscape.
Marc Andreessen has long been a busy man; he's worked at or invested in Netscape, AOL, Ning, Digg, and Twitter, for starters. Now, Andreessen's interests seem to have turned towards boards of directors, as he joined Facebook's earlier this year and hopped aboard eBay's yesterday evening.
Mobile video streaming service Qik just got some new big-wig investors. Ning co-founder Marc Andreessen (who is also a Facebook board member) and HP's business tech manager, Ben Horowitz have invested an as-of-yet unspecified "significant" amount of money into it.
Relevant rumors first appeared about two months ago, and at this point, the move still isn't official. It seems a pretty sure thing, however, that Marc Andreessen has joined Facebook's board of directors.
