Some of the questions surrounding the valuation of Facebook, Inc. just became a little less foggy with a report published by the VC Experts team. The company, using data gathered from its' PEDC KIT database, undertook a research project that analyzed Facebook's venture financing rounds and the stock issued during those rounds. Utilizing propriety valuation-calculation methods, VC Experts puts Facebook's valuation around $12.5 billion. The report is the most well-researched data available to date, according to a post by VentureBeat (http://venturebeat.com/2008/07/24/source-facebooks-internal-valuation-is-4-billion-but-so-what/)
