LinkedIn states that it is a system that “is the world’s largest professional network with 300 million members in over 200 countries and territories around the globe.”

LinkedIn was created in 2002 but had its start on May 5, 2003, with co-founder Reid Hoffman.

Jeff Weiner is the active CEO and the rest of the company’s team consists of officers from other big name companies like Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo!

The company itself receives all of its revenue from talent solutions, marketing solutions, and premium subscription products.

As stated by the company’s page, “The mission of LinkedIn is to connect the world’s professionals to enable them to be more productive and successful.

To achieve our mission, we make services available through our websites … to help you, your connections, and millions of other professionals meet, exchange ideas, learn, … and make decisions in a network of trusted relationships and groups.”
