Marc Andreessen invests in QIK

At last I can talk
Netscape founder Marc Andreessen has completed a round of investment into buddies QIK.
This is a serious move for Andreessen and longtime business partner Ben Horowitz.
Andreeson who broke my chops a bit on a TC40 panel last year during my MAXroam presentation :-) is regarded as one of Silicon Valley’s smartest and shrewdest guys and this can only mean great things for QIK.
Huge congrats to qik and to Marc, Ben this is a great deal rest assured.

“Andreessen, co-founder and chairman of social networking site Ning, and Horowitz, vice president and general manager of Hewlett-Packard’s business technology organization unit, have made a “significant investment” in the Foster City, Calif., company and will join its board of advisors, which already includes Salesforce.com Chairman and Chief Executive Marc Benioff. The company would not say how much the pair of angel investors ponied up.”

    Great new’s hopefully they will push now to get QIK on the App Store. People will pay good money for a quality product like QIK

    Ditto on the App Store. Qik is one application that will make the iPhone camera better than it looks.

    Pat, thanks for the good wishes. We feel them here. :)

    As far as the iPhone app goes, unfortunately Apple’s current SDK does not support video. Really appreciate the love, Robert and Bernie. :)
