Why Are So Many Facebook Execs Quitting To Work With This Man?

Chamath Palihapitiya, once the longest-tenured executive at Facebook not named Mark Zuckerberg, is now out on his own, running a venture capital firm. It's called Social+Capital.

Palihapitya is staffing up startups in Social+Capital's portfolio, and lots of the people he's hiring are, like him, former Facebook employees.

Here's an abbreviated list of former Facebookers and the startups they've joined:

• Joel Seligstein – MAD Apparel
• Bob Trahan - Phacility
• Evan Priestley - Phacility
• Chad Little - Phacility
• Eston Bond - Tiller
• Sameer Moidu - Tiller

In this video, Palihapitiya explains why all those people are quitting Facebook to join him.
