VC firm Andreessen Horowitz to debut new media property

Marc Andreessen, the venture capitalist who declared in a newspaper editorial a decade ago that “software is eating the world,” would now like to take a bite of the news publishing business.

His venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz, said it will introduce a new digital media property this year featuring articles by its partners and outside voices. The effort marks an expansion of a long-held ambition by the investment firm to build its own audience around editorials and podcasts advocating the Silicon Valley and entrepreneurial ways of life.
