Reid creates Linked In
In late 2002, Reid recruits a team of old colleagues from SocialNet and PayPal worked on a new idea. Six months later, LinkedIn launches. Growth is slow at first—as few as 20 signups on some days—but, by the fall, it shows enough promise to attract an investment from Sequoia Capital. -
