Is someone else surprised that Peter Thiel invested in Facebook when it had 100000 users and Mark Zuckerberg said that he planned to go back to college? What are the chances of that happening with a product today?

Hmm...that can happen, but does that happen for a 19 year old college guy? That happens today but mostly with experienced founders.

After FB any 19 year old with a product that has 100K users and is growing at a rate of FB I would guess would be showered with money (I am not a VC so my guess might be very wrong).

I guess so. Even I am not sure though :) I would love it if someone can provide some data on the inside of such deals with numbers :)
