Mark Zuckerberg is known for arriving late for a meeting with prospective investor Sequoia Capital and giving a less-than-serious pitch while wearing pyjamas.
Now, as Facebook prepares its initial public offering, Zuckerberg's wardrobe has not received much of an upgrade.
Wearing a hoodie to a meeting in New York on
Tuesday with potential investors is a sign of Zuckerberg's lack of seriousness, according to Michael Pachter, an analyst for Wedbush Securities.
"He's showing investors he doesn't care that much, he's going to be him," Pachter said. "I think that's a mark of immaturity. I think that he has to realise he's bringing investors in as a new constituency right now, and I think he's got to show them the respect that they deserve because he's asking them for their money."
Pachter said Zuckerberg was similar to Steve Jobs, the late Apple co-founder, in that he was an eccentric leader who did not want to answer to anybody.
