Sean didn't bring anything to the table?!?!?!
Absolutely love this film (and any film written by Aaron Sorkin for that matter) but the only problem I had, and didn't really realise until recently is Eduardo's constant complaining that Sean didn't bring anything to the table.
Surely you could've argued that Sean had the following contributions based on the film:
1. Set up the meeting with Peter Thiel which got them the first 500k
2. Had the idea of playing the revenge stunt on Manningham which lead to even more funding
3. Told them to drop the 'The'
4. Advised them to move to California
5. The whole billion dollar valuation speeches which further encouraged Mark to hold off on the advertising
6. Put them on 2 continents
7. Sounds cheesey but the energy he bought as well just by being around
All Eduardo did was put in the first 19k and set up meetings for advertising which weren't even used (and were never going to be used from the start according to Mark). You could even say that Eduardo was just lucky that none of Mark's programmers had 19k to spare otherwise Eduardo wouldn't even have anything to contribute.
Don't get me wrong, you can understand why Eduardo was so p!ssed and wanted Sean out, but surely he can't say his contributions were minimal.
Thoughts??
