I don't get it. How come Mark Zuckerberg owns only 24%? How are these shares distributed among these holders as it grew from a four person startup to this big giant company? Can any one point me to the complete story? I guess that will be a valuable read for fresh startups like us.


"Only"?!

24% is a remarkable position for Zuckerberg to have maintained to this point, considering the amount of money they've raised and the "public" market cap of Facebook. Many founder/ceos of much smaller companies find themselves at around 10-20% after two or three rounds.


"after two or three rounds" : What does it mean?
