He didn’t really start Facebook from nothing though. Peter Theil pumped half a million in it right from the start and it always had VC backing to the tune of hundreds of millions. Having a rich backer fund your startup is far from starting at nothing.
I agree. I should have chosen words more carefully. I think essentially all success on a large scale occurs due to chance, incredible fortune, and various forms of charity or luck. Whether that be cash injection in a startup or having loyalty from a great team who empowers you to accomplish your goals. No one does any of this alone.
