I am a regular reader (as I am sure thousands of people are) of Marc Andreessen’s blog. He has not been blogging for that long (a couple of months at best I believe), but what he has produced in those few short months have been some of the most insightful stuff I have read in awhile.

Today’s post is short and sweet, which is not uncommon (I guess it depends on how busy he is helping run Ning or selling any other companies he owns) and it was pretty funny (and good). It was another post that is part of his guide to startups (if you have not read any of them and you are interested in starting your own company, I highly suggest you go back and read them) , and it was about hiring a professional CEO for your startup. He says:

“Don’t.

If you don’t have anyone on your founding team who is capable of being CEO, then sell your company — now.”

Very short and to the point, good advice.
