i was head of business development for one of the first social network ever- collegeclub.com, this was 1997-2000. it never really took off, we had ~$80million in funding over that time as well,
fast-forward to facebook and it's massive and it initially had the same business model as collegeclub did.

a little trivia, i worked with halcyon while there, y'all remember him eh. this was pre-pink days for him, lolz.
