No...? What makes you think Facebook is a success Zuck can just repeat at will? Having been lucky once already does not make him a better entrepreneur; though the brand will surely help promoting his new startup, and a billionaire has certain connections mere mortals don't have. But neither of those fact are tied to him being a good entrepreneur... look at Bill Nguyen to see where this line of thinking leads you. Color is doing great, isn't it?


Don't focus on Zuckerberg. If you think Facebook was just luck, pick someone who you think succeeded by skill. Would you invest in their next company at a $20M valuation?
