Eighteen years ago, “Yeah!” by Usher topped the Billboard 100, and Harvard-only social networking site Facebook had just started to expand to other college campuses across the United States. In an effort to continue branching out from its Ivy League roots, Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, among others, put together this media kit/pitch deck hybrid to demonstrate the network’s success to date and its plans for the future. The slides highlight the website’s addictive nature and point to its user growth rate as a signal of its broader adoption potential. Thefacebook.com received its first investment in August 2004 — in the form of $500K in seed funding from billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel. Many things have changed since 2012 in the fintech world, today founders struggle with the competition when fundraising. Don't take these decks as a template, each startup is unique in how it approaches the problem and the market.
