Didn’t they have the chance to buy Facebook for 1B too but they reduced their offer at the last minute and Zuckeberg said no? I’m convinced the people at Yahoo didn’t know what they were doing and both Google and Facebook would fail spectacularly within Yahoo.
- mcny 7y agoI remember Microsoft bought a stake in Facebook at 15B valuation or something. I didn't know much about funding then (I still don't) but I thought how much money that put in was more important than the valuation. I can too invest $1 in Facebook at $100B valuation I thought. To me the point was not to earn dividends but to have Zuckerberg's ear and hopefully have a say in how Facebook is run.
