21 year old Mark Zuckerberg explains why he isn’t worried about competition from Google In 2005, Mark Zuckerberg, then just 21 years old, gave a talk at Harvard where he shared his thoughts on competing with big companies like Google. Instead of worrying about big players, he focused on getting things done and building Facebook efficiently. He explained how Facebook grew to 300,000 users and 400 million page views a day with only 50 people and cheap servers. In comparison, Google had 5,000 employees and massive resources for fewer page views. Mark believed that having smart people on your team is more important than having big resources. As technology becomes cheaper, great people are what truly make the difference. He also saw Facebook’s small size as a strength because it allowed the team to move quickly and avoid unnecessary delays. Mark’s message was simple: success isn’t about being big—it’s about having the right people and staying flexible to create great things.
