a16z Co-founder Marc Andreessen is at it again with a golden quote! 🔥🤯

“The most impressive entrepreneurs of the future will be those who master 6 to 8 different fields and then perfectly integrate and cross-connect them!”
He straightforwardly states: to gain a truly differentiated advantage, there are only two paths—
Vertical deep dive: become an absolute expert in a specific field. In hardcore areas like biotechnology and AI foundational models, the deeper your knowledge, the more you can crush the competition!
Horizontal breadth: know more, connect broadly—this will be the key to winning in most fields. 📈
As AI capabilities explode, the “broad knowledge” strategy will become increasingly attractive! It’s recommended to first broadly explore, understand multiple fields and how the world operates, and when deep knowledge is needed, quickly catch up using AI tools to maximize efficiency. 🚀
Marc gives an example: truly top-tier CEOs never just understand product, sales, and marketing—they are also proficient in law, finance, investor relations, media relations—this is the superweapon of interdisciplinary expertise!
Now, AI significantly reduces the cost of “broad knowledge,” and ordinary people can also play around with multi-field integration. Brothers, how many fields are you currently exploring? For future entrepreneurship, are you planning to deeply specialize in one area or cast a wide net and integrate multiple fields? Share your plans in the comments! #AI #创业 #a16z #MarcAndreessen
