LinkedIn’s Investor Testimonial Video
Published on 17/06/08

Has anyone else ever seen a web company create an investor testimonial video like this before? Very interesting, I wonder what the goal was. Paging Mario Sundar 
Update: Duh, they want to go public. I somehow missed that from the article I read. I wonder how startups could use these kinds of videos to raise interest as they move through angel and VC rounds…
Today I am happy to announce that LinkedIn has raised additional funding from our original investors and added another world-class investor to our team. Bain Capital Ventures joins our existing group of investors – Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, and Bessemer Ventures – and leads this round of investment at a total of $53 million.* (LinkedIn has previously raised $27 million).
Congrats to the LinkedIn team. You have executed really well and I can’t wait to see what you accomplish next.
That's it. What Next?

Very interesting vid – or should I say commercial? However LinkedIn is powerful and as a network evangelist from Norway I use it a lot in networking in mutual trust for equal opportunities.

I think start-ups can use videos like that to stand out from the crowd. It’s something different and I’m sure if you put that in front of an investor they will be less likely to quickly forget you.
