Scene 66 of 189 · ≈ 1 min on screen
Mark Zuckerberg wants status and belonging Harvard's final clubs won't give him, so he builds a website that gives the world both — and loses his best friend and co-founder to the company he built to prove he mattered.
Mark at the campus bar: brilliant, status-obsessed, unable to read the room he's sitting in.
He wants to matter — to be let into the final clubs, to be exceptional enough that Erica's verdict is wrong — and Facemash is the first proof-of-concept.
Cameron, Tyler, and Divya recruit Mark to build HarvardConnection — the idea that becomes Facebook arrives from outside him.
In deposition, Gretchen asks whether Mark offered financial terms for the company.
Mark proposes splitting ownership 70-30, with Eduardo as CFO for putting up the thousand dollars.
Eduardo confirms in deposition that he agreed to the arrangement on the spot.
