Good quotes supporting our thesis on capital efficient entreprenuers needing
smaller checks to scale their business:

"The company made at least 10 acquisitions in 2011, including
group-messaging service Beluga in March. In addition to buying startups,
Facebook has enabled hundreds of others to get off the ground by offering an
easy, cheap and fast way for them to reach millions of potential customers,
said Shervin Pishevar, a managing director at Menlo Ventures in Menlo Park
<http://topics.bloomberg.com/menlo-park/> , California
<http://topics.bloomberg.com/california/> . 

"There will be a lot of $1 billion-plus companies built on these platforms,"
said Pishevar, who owns Facebook shares."

Facebook Inc., the social-networking 
website that in eight years changed the way the world 
communicates, filed to raise $5 billion in the largest Internet 
initial public offering on record.
