LinkedIn Pitch Deck

LinkedIn is the world's largest online professional network. Launched on May 5, 2003, the platform is primarily used for professional networking and career development, and allows job seekers to post their CVs and employers to post jobs.

Founder & CEO Reid Hoffman shared LinkedIn's original pitch deck that helped close $10M in Series B funding from Greylock in 2004. The deck took a fairly unique and highly-detailed approach to pitching LinkedIn's network-based "Web 2.0" growth model.

Most impressively, LinkedIn was actually able to accomplish Hoffman's prescient vision: growing to 433 million users by the time the company was acquired by Microsoft in 2016 for an estimated $26.2 billion!
