Eduardo Saverin went to New York for an internship at Lehman Brothers.Īccording to instant messages from this period, before Mark left for the West Coast, he asked Eduardo to work on three things: 'to set up the company, get funding, and make a business model.'Īlmost immediately after the move, the relationship between cofounders began to fray.Īt first, it was just a cultural divide. Six months after launched, as the summer of 2004 began, Mark Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz moved to Palo Alto, California where they planned to work on in a rented house. Zuckerberg: I'm content to make something cool. Zuckerberg: Well I don't know business stuff Zuckerberg: Nah, he thinks it will make money. Zuckerberg: Eduardo is paying for my servers. In another IM conversation, this one from January 8, 2004, Mark described the arrangement this way: Eduardo was the kind of guy who wore suits to class at Harvard, and he left people-including Mark-with the impression that he was connected to the Brazilian mafia. Mark also partnered with Eduardo because Eduardo gave the impression he knew something about business. In one IM to a friend, Mark described his new partner, Eduardo, as the 'head of the investment society.' Eduardo was rich, Mark went on to say, because 'apparently insider trading isn't illegal in Brazil.' Mark, Facebook, and Eduardo declined interview requests for this story, but we can infer some of Mark's thinking from previously unpublished instant messages he wrote during the time.

Why did Mark choose Eduardo to be his first business partner?

The money, Mark promised, would go toward the servers needed to host a site that Mark wanted to develop. In late 2003, Harvard sophomore Mark Zuckerberg asked a Harvard student named Eduardo Saverin, a junior, to deposit $15,000 in a bank account that would be accessible to both of them.
