What basis do you have for saying this? If Mark missed out on the social media boom, what are the odds that he would find another industry waiting for a multibillion dollar company to come along?

I couldn't really code a website when I was 20. He had already built music software that Microsoft offered $1,000,000 for when he was in high school.

There were many other social networks starting when fb did. They did not build and iterate at the same speed.
