LinkedIn has acquired professional content sharing platform SlideShare for $119 million in cash and stock
SlideShare is a sharing platform for business documents, videos and presentations. SlideShare lets
anyone share presentations and video and also serves as a social discovery platform for users to find
relevant content and connect with other members who share similar interests. The company also has a
huge enterprise following, and companies like IBM and others use the platform to curate content from all
of their employees and partners on a branded page.
SlideShare users have uploaded more than nine million presentations, and according to comScore, in
March SlideShare had nearly 29 million unique visitors.
SlideShare has raised $3 million in funding from Jonathan Abrams, Mark Cuban, Dave McClure, and
Venrock.
The acquisition makes a lot of sense from a product point of view. SlideShare recently deepened its
integration with LinkedIn, and the two companies have compared their relationship to Chocolate and
peanut butter for professionals.
