Only 2 of Facebook's earliest employees stayed at the company — here's what Facebook's first 20 employees are up to now (FB)

Facebook launched in February 2004, and it's come a long way in the last 16 years. Notably, almost all of the company's first 20 employees have since left the company. Only two remain, and you can probably guess who one of them is. Some have become venture capitalists: Kevin Colleran opened Slow Ventures, while Sean Parker worked at Founders Fund for eight years. Others have founded their own companies: Dustin Moskovitz launched Asana, while Steve Chen created YouTube. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Here's where Facebook's first 20 employees are now.
