CFI Podcast: Software has Eaten the World…and Healthcare is Next

Marc Andreessen and Jorge Conde

Posted August 16, 2019

Back in 2011, CFI cofounder Marc Andreessen first made the bold claim that software would eat the world. In this episode (originally recorded as part of an event at CFI ), Andreesseen and CFI general partner on the bio fund Jorge Conde (@JorgeCondeBio) take a look back at that thesis, and think about where we are now, nearly a decade later—how software has delivered on that promise… and most of all, where it is yet to come.

In the wide-ranging conversation, the two partners discuss everything from the translatable learnings of software’s transformation of the music and automotive industries, to how software will now eat healthcare (including what exactly changed in the fields of bio and computer science to make Marc eat his own words!).
