"Facebook startup State" favored: better social networking

Introduction: Foreign media wrote that as Facebook grew, a group of young entrepreneurs coming out of the company were increasingly being watched by investors. Thanks to Facebook's growing experience, they all have great ambitions and deep insights, and dare to challenge difficult issues.

The following is the full text of the article:

"Facebook startup State" is a social network. After developing an online service that covers the world, these old Facebook employees are starting their own business and attracting advice, investment and collaboration with their real-life relationships. They have a variety of new projects, Office tools and prescription drug parity sites, but they all have one thing in common: they have attracted a lot of investors ' attention, and they have even reached $ tens of millions of trillion in financing.

"Facebook has an early team of about 60 to 100 people who are talented and entrepreneurial. An angel investor says he has invested in two "Facebook startup states" companies.

They also have lofty ambitions. Just 20 years old, they started the technology that affects hundreds of millions of people. Now, these entrepreneurs are starting to look for new problems that need to be addressed.

Doug Hirsch, who joined the two companies at the early days of Yahoo and Facebook, said it was fascinating to be young enough to challenge major problems and immediately affect humans. While it may not be a big success for Facebook, it gives them a lot of confidence.

"You know it may fail. How likely is it to create a product with 850 million users? But you still believe there is a chance to create some great products that affect many people's lives. Scott Marlette said. He left Facebook in 2010 and co-founded a prescription drug parity website GoodRx with Hirsch.

The main hallmark of the "Facebook startup State" is the interpersonal relationships of the social network. Colleagues can become friends and vice versa. This is similar to the previous PayPal startup, where former employees of the network-paying company are still creating and financing startups. But investors say few companies, like Facebook, have trained many unknown engineers as revolutionary-minded people, which are unique to these young engineers.

Investors are convinced that these programmers understand social networks and that they define social networks. But many companies have started to emulate the unique pattern of Facebook, such as the real-name system. And with the proliferation of social networks, games and software start-ups, many of the early Facebook employees have issued a "social bubble" warning.

But investors believe that older Facebook employees have a unique advantage. "Most social networking sites are psychological experiments," says one angel investor, "and it's tricky for Facebook people to understand the key psychological dynamics of socializing." ”

Venture capitalists, including Accel, Benchmark, Anderson-Horowitz (Andreessen Horowitz) and Kleiner, are actively embracing these early Facebook employees in the hope of a slice of their success. "Social interaction has an impact on every aspect of our lives, from business to government, from education to politics." Benchmark partner Matt Cohler said. He joined benchmark after leaving Facebook.

Not only is it easy to attract investment, because these entrepreneurs have worked together to stay up late on Facebook, coping with downtime and customer dissatisfaction, making them intimate. "If someone from Facebook came to me to finance it. I will sincerely help him, I trust those who have fought together. GoodRx's Marlette said.
