It’s not often you get to be a fly on the wall for an IPO roadshow, let alone the most highly anticipated IPO of all time. Yet, here’s our chance.

So, pull up a seat and listen closely to how Mark, Chris, Sheryl and David tell their story and lay out the rationale for why investors should believe that Facebook is just getting started. 

There aren’t many reveals in the video that haven’t been covered ad nauseum so no need to listen intently for surprises. Rather, watch for how the story of Facebook is told from the seed planted in Mark’s dorm room on a $70 a month server to the single most important piece of internet infrastructure upon which all future applications will be built. 

Regardless of whether such a wild eyed vision leaves you reaching for your Schwab account or your barf bag, this is 30 min of internet history well worth a watch.

It’s not the weekend, so I can’t make it required viewing, but miss this master class in big picture pitching at your own peril.
