What's it like to watch an acquirer disintegrate your company after you built it from the ground up?

Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape, recalls what he felt like when AOL bought Netscape as a strategic move--only to have it disintegrate.

And then there's that most-critical of entrepreneurial talents: Adaptation.

After selling Netscape, Marc's started another company, Loudcloud, which went public right before the dotcom bust. After a brief period of meteoric growth, Loudcloud itself almost went bust, as its customers either went out of business or decided the Internet was a fad.

Instead of giving up, however, Marc and his partner Ben Horowitz transformed the company. Renamed Opsware, it survived and was later acquired by Hewlett-Packard.
