I remember all these numbers for sure.

But I wrote on the back of an envelope, like, if I got fired in year one, which deal would be better if I got fired in year two?

I knew I'd get fired.

And so I just was trying to figure out, well, what point, how long would I have to make it before the Yahoo deal is better?

You know, and I thought I'd have to make it at least like two to three years.

And that seemed unlikely.

So, but I was wrong.

Even one year would have been amazing.

And that check was that 10.

No, no, no, no.

$38,000.

Oh, $38,000.

No, there's nothing brilliant about my Facebook investment.

And I get kind of bugged when I see people on their investment resumes put that they were...

you know, a seed in, or early in, there were only three seed investors in Facebook.

It was me, Reid, and Peter Thiel.

But you would have, anyone listening to this would have made the same investment that I did if they could have.

You know, it's probably more impressive that I was in a place that, you know, Zuckerberg and Sean Parker walked into my office than that I, you know, decided to invest.

Yeah, Sean has this amazing nose for viral consumer hits.

And he found Freeloader really early and wrote me this whole long email and said he was a Unix programmer and he'd come work for free for the summer.
