1 correction found
Andreessen serves on the board of Meta, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Kno, Stanford Hospital, Bump Technologies, Anki, Oculus VR, OpenGov, Dialpad, and TinyCo.
This board-membership list is outdated. Marc Andreessen is not a current HPE director, and companies like Bump and TinyCo were acquired years ago, so presenting them as current board seats is inaccurate.
Full reasoning
The sentence is written in the present tense ("serves on the board of"), but at least several of the listed board seats are not current.
- Hewlett Packard Enterprise: HPE's current board-of-directors page does not list Marc Andreessen among its directors. An official Meta proxy filing also says Andreessen previously served on the HPE board from November 2015 to April 2018.
- Bump Technologies: Y Combinator's company page for Bump says the company was acquired by Google in 2013 and that the Bump and Flock apps were shut down.
- TinyCo: Jam City announced in 2016 that it bought TinyCo.
So this sentence is at minimum materially outdated: it presents old or defunct affiliations as if they were current board memberships.
