Linkedin Omaha

The LinkedIn Answers is a great resource to learn as well showcase your expertise, but that is not what I want to talk about today. While browsing through some of the answers, I came across an interesting thing. After reading the question, when I glanced at the person’s name, it said “Virtual Project”. Out of curiosity, I clicked on the name and came across a unique way to use LinkedIn. Here is a small excerpt …

Greetings.

(****WE WANT TO STRESS THAT THIS IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH
LINKEDIN IN ANYWAY!!!****)

If you are here, you were either invited, or you somehow stumbled upon us. Either way, we hope you find this process interesting, and worthwhile!

This placeholder has been established within the LinkedIn environment to explain what we’re attempting to create, as well as to potentially attract members to our team.

We’re currently a small team, that’s relatively new to LinkedIn. We’re familiar with the overall goals of LinkedIn, just never really needed to use it, or contribute to the overall LinkedIn community, until now.

Surprisingly, they have 9 connections so far! It seems they are operating out of San Francisco, Texas and Florida. This seems to be their goal:

Our goal is to build a team of people/developers, who want to be part of a Sweat Equity Startup. We recognize the need to have income to pay your bills, so if you’re looking for a paid/salaried function, this isn’t for you. (Once we have revenues flowing, we believe we’ll be more than willing to entertain you guys!!) Initially, we’re looking for partners!

I have met many people face-to-face with similar idea but this is the first time I am seeing this happen on LinkedIn. They seem to have some type of infrastructure ready to go and have a business plan probably.
