In 2003, LinkedIn was launched by co-founders who dreamed big. Specifically, to connect the world’s professionals online. To make these professionals more productive and successful. And, above all, to create economic opportunity.

Now 20+ years later, LinkedIn has more than delivered on these co-founders’ big dreams. And, along the way, LinkedIn has spawned hundreds of companies with the same dream big DNA: from Notion to Confluent, Figma to Cricket Health, and many more (see list below), LinkedIn alums have already co-founded and built dozens of transformational companies.

However, all this impact has occurred without any organized way to connect LinkedIn alumni entrepreneurs with the vibrant LinkedIn community, whether with current employees or alumni now working as operators, investors, or fellow entrepreneurs.
