Facebook Developers

Last night, we hosted our first fbFund Demo Day at Facebook Headquarters in Palo Alto, California. The twenty-five Round 2 fbFund recipients flew in from as far as the UK and Canada at their own expense, to share their businesses with investors, press, Facebook employees, and other business/tech luminaries. It was a great opportunity to connect with and get inspired by the talented entrepreneurs building meaningful businesses using Facebook Platform.

During the event, we announced the top 5 fbFund recipients from this funding cycle. Final judging took into account over 180,000 user votes, as well as input from Facebook, Accel Partners and Founders Fund. Congratulations again to the grand prize recipients, each of whom received $250,000 in funding: GroupCard, MouseHunt, Weddingbook, Wildfire, and Kontagent.
