Flavio about Business 2.0

This VC thinks that Facebook is worth 100bn $. He’s running a facebook only VC Fund. He says the valuation of 100 bn $ is realistic if we have 200 mio users in 18 months (time of the IPO?) valued at 500 $ per user. Compared to the approx 100$ valuation of a Studivz User, that doesn’t even seem that unrealistic to me.

Very quickly, facebook could be worth as much as our friends at google: 160bn, at the time of this post. Not to mention yahoo, with a measly 30bn $ valuation. Maybe they should’ve bid a bit more when Facebook said no to 1bn $…

Now it really looks like facebook has done it again: Bay Partners launch the first facebook apps only fund to invest in young entrepreneurs who develop facebook apps. Apparently, they’re looking to invest between 25k and 250k. Not bad for such a facebook app.

The initiative is great and will help fuel the growth of good applications even more. But building a business only on top of facebook also carries certain risks: Facebook can simply decide to shut down your app if they don’t like it for some reason. They can also just modify some settings, like they already did, which can have a serious impact on your business model. Or how about facebook introducing monthly fees for API usage?

I think it would be smart to build a non-facebook dependant part of your business as well, so in case facebook apps is no longer a good option for you, your users are not simply lost, but can still use your service outside of facebook. This presumes your service adds real value for users, also outside of facebook.
