LinkedIn was founded in 2002 by Reid Hoffman and launched in 2003 as a professional networking platform connecting colleagues and business contacts online.
Early funding came from venture capital firms such as Sequoia Capital and Greylock Partners, helping it scale rapidly. By 2011, LinkedIn went public, becoming the world’s leading professional network. In 2016, Microsoft acquired it for $26.2 billion, integrating AI and cloud capabilities to expand its talent, learning, and advertising services.
Today, LinkedIn has over a billion members globally, driving professional identity, recruitment, skills development, and thought leadership at the heart of the world’s business ecosystem.
