Marc Randolph biography
The founding CEO of Netflix, entrepreneurship speaker Marc Randolph is one of the world’s most trusted advisors on entrepreneurism. Netflix is an inspirational story to any startup, and a cautionary tale to established firms. In his engagements as a keynote speaker, Marc Randolph encourages audiences to think and act boldly. He is widely considered one of the world’s leading motivational speakers at business-oriented events around the world.
Netflix is Randolph’s highest-profile achievement, but his entrepreneurial career reaches back more than 40 years. In that time, he has founded more than a half-dozen successful firms and mentored countless startups. Among the companies he has helped bring to scale is Looker Data, which Google acquired for $2.6 billion.
Randolph draws on his broader career as an entrepreneur and consultant in his 2019 bestseller That Will Never Work. A vivid and often wry look at Netflix’s rise to dominance, the book is above all a David vs. Goliath story. Netflix presented only a quirky alternative at first to video-rental stores like Blockbuster. By relentlessly improving its business model and constantly assessing what worked best, Netflix eventually changed its industry’s paradigm.
Along with his role as an entrepreneurial adviser, Randolph chairs the National Outdoor Leadership School’s board.

There are investors who believe in the idea as fervently as he does, and others who have to be convinced (including his own mother). There are skeptics pointing out crucial flaws, and a core team of brilliant optimists charging ahead despite the odds. He teaches the audience how to make people believe in them.
This story offers a real education in the craft of the startup venture, with plenty of insights that remain relevant and applicable today, in Silicon Valley and far beyond.
