I didn't start Facebook to create a company; I started it because I wanted to build something personally meaningful and believed it should exist globally.

I started my company at 19 years old and never went to college because I believed that proving my capabilities through action was more valuable than obtaining a degree.

I created Facebook because my friends and I wanted a way to connect with others at Harvard, not because I thought it would become a company.

I initially built Facebook for myself as a college student, but I quickly realized its potential to serve a broader audience beyond just my university.

I started Facebook while I was supposed to be studying, but I was more passionate about building something meaningful.

I made a significant mistake by not investing in Facebook when I had the chance, which taught me to recognize exceptional founders without overanalyzing.

I started my first company in New York City while I was broke, didn't speak good English, and had no idea how to start a startup.

I started a couple of startups and then joined Facebook before leaving to start Mystery Science with Doug.

I started my first company out of my dorm room at Stanford, aiming to help students get jobs at banks and consulting firms, but it ultimately didn't work out because no one was using LinkedIn at the time.
