Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, the founders of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, have warned that the rise of ’little tech’ startups and the decline of ‘big tech’ companies could threaten the US’s global leadership in technology. They argue that the current regulatory crackdown on big tech firms like Google, Amazon, and Meta is stifling innovation and driving talent away from these companies. Meanwhile, smaller startups are thriving, but many are based outside the US, potentially shifting the center of gravity for tech innovation away from America. Andreessen and Horowitz call for a more balanced approach to regulating big tech, allowing them to continue innovating while also fostering a vibrant startup ecosystem. They believe maintaining US leadership in technology is crucial for economic and national security reasons.
