‘Most influential tech investors of 2011’
CNET ranks Andreesen and Horowitz on its “entirely subjective” list of 2011’s most influential tech investors, focusing on the Skype sale:
My favorite Andreessen-Horowitz play of 2011 involves a little Internet payback. Andreessen and team sold Skype–which they’d bought control of with a group of investors in 2009–to Microsoft for $8.5 billion. Andreessen and his team more than tripled a $50 million investment in 18 months.s
