, you may be wondering about its origins as a company.

But it wasn’t until the end of 2002 that he founded what is now this social platform (or, at least, the first sketch). He managed to gather a handful of friends and those interested in becoming part of it and started in May 2003 with just over 100 users.

A couple of years later, the platform already began to take prominence among the most used social networks in the world, getting more and more followers, until in 2005 and had about 35 million registered users.

After strong global growth, in June 2016, LinkedIn was bought by Microsoft for 26.2 billion dollars (23.26 billion euros).

Today, the data speaks for itself about the success of this platform:

In Spain: more than 10 million active users.
Active users each month: around 225 million.
Total registered users: around 500 million worldwide.
