🌐🚀Unlike other social media at the time of LinkedIn's creation, it had a lot of focus on the users’ professional relationships and standing. 🗞️In 2007, LinkedIn became profitable for the first time and consecutively had more than 15 million members the same year. In 2011, LinkedIn had acquired more than 100 million members worldwide. That same year, their IPO raised $353 million. 5 years later, LinkedIn’s user count had grown to 500 million members in about 200 countries. The same year, Microsoft acquired the social platform for approximately $26 billion, which has been the largest acquisition by Microsoft to date!💰 💻Today, LinkedIn has topped 315 million users globally which statistically is the majority of professionals (over 50%). As Jeff Weiner steps down from the post of LinkedIn’s CEO, where will it go from here? We would love to hear your thoughts! #innmind #quote #business #linkedin #socialmedia #quote #ceo #economy #startup #investing #investment #angelinvestor #tech #professionals #microsoft #founder #innovation #idea
