When was Netscape founded?

Netscape was the first company to attempt to capitalize on the emerging World Wide Web. It was founded under the name Mosaic Communications Corporation on April 4, 1994, the brainchild of Jim Clark who had recruited Marc Andreessen as co-founder and Kleiner Perkins as investors.

Why did you start Netscape?

Jon Mittelhauser: We found, in effect, control was taken away and influence was taken away. So, that obviously is part of what led us off to go start up Netscape. Marc Andreessen is in Silicon Valley at the beginning of 1994, at a company called Enterprise Integration Technologies, working on web security products.

Who created Mosaic & Netscape?

In April 1994 the duo founded Mosaic Communications Corporation (later rechristened Netscape Communications). Andreessen recruited the original masterminds behind Mosaic and set out to create the “monster” software, which they initially dubbed Mozilla (meaning Mosaic Killer).
