Here’s Marc Andreessen’s Number One Piece Of Advice For Any Company Looking For Funding
On Twitter, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen was asked for the “most important tip” for any startup looking to get funding from his firm, Andreessen Horowitz.

This, of course, applies to anyone in any walk of life. He followed up with a little bit more advice:
@HilzFuld The best startups just radiate quality end to end. Irresistible to VCs to fund.

This is somewhat obvious, though a bit frustrating perhaps, but it’s the simple truth. If you want to turn heads, do something that’s head turning.
