Mark Zuckerberg Rare 2005 Interview
A rare interview with Zuckerberg from the summer of 2005, when he first moved out to Palo Alto. Shows Facebook's office HQ and Z's vision for the future of the company.
Fascinating to compare his perspective then with the reality now!

- jbseek 16y agoPretty interesting to see an early look at facebook HQ in palo alto. Mark used a quite a lot of "so's" in the interview. Seems like the "other things" he talks about besides just being a college directory has worked out pretty well. Quick question to HN users that are more informed. at this timeline who was funding facebook?
- annajohnson 16y agoFacebook's funding timeline: "Round one: $500,000 from Peter Thiel, Summer 2004; Round two: $12.7 million from Accel Partners, April 2005; Round three: $27.5 million from Greylock Partners leading the round, Meritech Capital Partners participating, and Accel Partners and Peter Thiel increasing their investment in the company."
