First came news that more companies went public in 2014 than in any year since 2000. Today, a new report claims VCs invested more money in 2014 than in any year since 2000. Everyone is getting rich. The good old days are back again.

Messing with a competitor's ability to get funding is not a good look for Uber, says the venture capitalist who invested in the e-hailing app Hailo. The venture capitalist behind Lyft totally agrees!

The oversized brain of Silicon Valley star Marc Andreessen can hold a lot of insight, but every once in a while, it still overflows: a new interview reveals he still clings to the fantasy of meritocracy.

There's nothing quite like watching two billionaire blowhards fighting it out on basic cable. This time, Carl Icahn and Marc Andreessen are bickering over eBay.

For a third time, a prominent venture capitalist is warning us all that some sort of ominous economic shit is about to go down. And for the third time in a row, he isn't admitting that it's his fault: Today's hypocrite is Marc Andreessen.

Last night Andreessen Horowitz, the same venture capital firm that invested in Facebook and Twitter, announced a $50 million investment in BuzzFeed that presumes the value of the company to be $850 million. General partner Chris Dixon compared BuzzFeed to Tesla, Uber, and Netflix because of its deep emphasis on technology and "world-class systems for analytics, advertising, and content management."

It's no longer enough for venture capitalists to give a startup millions of dollars without any promise of return. Now, the New York Times says, app creators must also be "coddled as royalty" by their middle-aged benefactors.

One very real risk associated with never shutting the fuck up on Twitter is that you set yourself up to be humiliated on the global stage. It finally happened to the man who deserves it above all.

The latest tempest from Marc Andreessen, Silicon Valley's resident storm king, concerns self-destructive startups. Wonder if any of his critiques—like going public before you're ready or assuming there's always more cash—apply to portfolio companies like Box or Fab?

Marc Andreessen made his fortune founding Netscape and investing millions into speculative startups, but his father-in-law is the man who made "Silicon Valley" possible. And ugly.

Soylent, the semen-esque food substitute financed by venture capitalists, is nothing if not resilient. It can keep you sated for hours with a full, gaseous feeling. It can even withstand reports of rats in its kitchen and still show up in The New Yorker. But slurping the fun out of life's most basic pleasure requires some social media marketing.

Hi, Marc. I grew up using your work.

The Milky Way galaxy's wealthiest hard boiled egg, Marc Andreessen, is back with more words no one asked for. Now he's doubting the New Yorker's Jill Lepore is qualified to write about the American business cult of "disruption" with her measly PhD in American Studies from Yale and Harvard tenure. Good question, Marc.

One of the most famous, lauded men in technology just called one of the most infamous men in the world a "traitor," on national television—all because the former is worried the latter might cost him some money.

There's a reason why Marc Andreessen is an esteemed venture capitalist, and you're not. Consider the savvy of his investments, the impossible sheen of his dome, the wisdom of his tweets—and, despite apparently having never read a book, just this morning he summarized human progress in just 17 parts.

Investor Marc Andreessen also dabbles in psychoanalysis. "The nature of the public market is that it is manic depressive," he told the New York Times. "It gets excited, it gets depressed." A couple impending M&As put tech stocks in a good mood today, but we'll see how long that lasts

Worrying about the ethics of venture capitalists is a lot like testing the acoustics of outer space. But you'd think the moneyed white men of Silicon Valley would act with a little class when they get turned down—it's just business, right? Not this time.

In Fortune magazine, Erin Griffith put together a chart exposing "Silicon Valley's single degree of separation," where A-listers are "just an adviser, an investor, a co-founder, an acquirer, or a director away from another."

The latest stop on Marc Andreessen's can't stop, won't stop loquacious world tour is this obsessive-compulsive evisceration of Carl Icahn (The third in a series.) With bloggers like this, the news business is going to be a-okay.
