Interview by Michael Arrington of TechCrunch of Zuckerburg and Facebook’s new Russian investor. The best comment I saw about the video was from Howard Lindzon, “Yuri looks like a mobster and Zuckerberg looks bored with life.”
I believe strongly that the public markets are very hungry for companies like Facebook (see Opentables recent very successful IPO) so this might not be a bad move from the Russians even at a very rich $10 billion valuation.
If this becomes a home-run investment for the Russians there is going to be a lot of funds located within walking distance (TCV for example) that are going to have a some explaining to do to their partners in how they let this one slide out of their hands…
