Your first piece of advice seemed to me to be your most important, and that is that Facebook and Microsoft and Google have already been created. PETER THIEL: Thanks for having me on the show. It's called "Zero To One: Notes On Startups, Or How To Build The Future." Welcome, Peter. And through his venture capital firm Founders Fund, he's invested in a number of big-tech companies. He also co-founded PayPal and Palantir Technologies. Thiel was Facebook's first outside investor. GOODWYN: That guy you just heard offering $500,000 to a young Mark Zuckerberg - that's Peter Thiel. LANGHAM: (As Peter Thiel) We took a look at everything and congratulations, we're going to start you off with a $500,000 investment.

JESSE EISENBERG: (As Mark Zuckerberg) Hi. WALLACE LANGHAM: (As Peter Thiel) You must be Mark. (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE SOCIAL NETWORK")

You might remember this scene from the movie "The Social Network."
