The Wall Street Journal reports that FaceBook’s Mark Zuckerberg held an open conference call yesterday to discuss the company’s 2007 financials - highly unusual for a private company.
Among the highlights:
Revenue for 2007 $150m
Projected revenue for 2008 $300 - $350m
Projected pre-tax earnings for 2008 $50m
