Netscape Communications Corp. founder Marc Andreessen's influence in Silicon Valley is growing by leaps and bounds. After raising last year's largest inaugural venture capital fund at $300 million, he's now heading up the search committee for ousted CEO Mark Hurd's successor at Hewlett-Packard Co., which bought Andreessen's second startup Opsware Inc. for $1.6 billion in 2007. And his firm is part of the Silver Lake-led syndicate that last year bought Skype Technologies SA from eBay Inc. for $1.9 billion and is now helping lead it to a $100 million IPO. Andreessen's biggest asset is his ability to spot and develop talent, says Peter Falvey, co-head of technology investment at Morgan Keegan & Co., in this video interview with The Deal magazine. - Mary Kathleen Flynn
