It’s hard to believe that giant companies like Facebook, Airbnb, and Slack were once tiny startups. But it’s true: years ago, they were just early-stage startups with a big idea — and to grow that idea, they relied on funding from investors like you.
This created opportunities for investors to get in on the ground floor, and put themselves in position to earn life-changing profits.
For example:
• One of the first investors in Facebook was a man named Peter Thiel. He invested in 2004, back when the social media platform was still a tiny startup.
Because he got in so early, he was able to make 2,000 times his money when Facebook went public. For every $1,000 he invested when the company was private, he got back $2 million

• According to CNBC, early investors in messaging system Slack made more than 3,000x their money — enough to turn every $1,000 into $3 million.
• An early investor in transportation company Uber turned every $5,000 he invested into a $2 million windfall.
• Early investors in Airbnb, the marketplace that helps people rent out their properties or spare rooms, earned an estimated 100,000x their money when the company went public in 2020. That’s like turning a $100 into $10 million.
As you can see, these profits are life-changing. And they all came from small investments in early-stage private startups.
To be clear, I’m not suggesting that you run out and start blindly investing in startups.
