I don't discount people that got it in secondary markets. It's not like they're only buying a few shares. I can't find outside sources. The most legit one is from WSJ[0], 200k investment in 2009. Hopefully they verified holdings and date of investment before printing.

Crunchbase does list him as Angel/Seed Round investor in Uber in 2010[1].

Even if you don’t discount, do you agree that his FB investment is different from his angel investments?

Yes. It’s much earlier.

Anything pre ipo, they’re going to be the first 1% of shareholders if the company does well. And many times you can’t even buy into those rounds without the right connections. Early is subjective vs if he said he was an angel round investor.
