Jim Clark and Marc Andreessen developed the idea for Netscape Communications Corporation in early 1994. They founded the company in April 1994, and have since built a team of more than 257 employees. Netscape (NASDAQ: NSCP) is based in Mountain View, California -- in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Marc Andreessen is vice president of technology for Netscape Communications. Andreessen developed the idea for the NCSA Mosaic browser for the Internet in the fall of 1992 while he was an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois and a staff member at the university's National Center for Supercomputing Applications in Champaign, Illinois. He created the friendly, easy-to-use navigational tool for the Internet with a team of students and staff at NCSA in early 1993. In his role at Netscape Communications, Marc sets and oversees the technical direction of the company. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from the University of Illinois in 1993.
In addition to Andreessen, Netscape Communications' core technical team includes five of the six other original NCSA Mosaic developers from NCSA: Eric Bina, Rob McCool, Jon Mittelhauser, Aleks Totic and Chris Houck. The team also includes Lou Montulli, author of Lynx, a text-based browser for the Internet, other University of Illinois alumni and several top-notch software engineers formerly with Silicon Graphics, Lucid and General Magic Corporation.
