I don't know what numbers they had bothered to graph up but it seems to me that the evidence of traction was very strong from very early on.


1000-2000 users and a $15 million valuation? That seems pretty overpriced to me: even if you could see a positive future, FB's success outside the Ivy league crowd was no means guaranteed.

It's worth noting that Peter Thiel later put in $500,000 for 10% of the company, which would value FB at around $5 million, and that was a few months later.
