Facebook app BranchOut is giving LinkedIn a run for its money by professionally connecting Facebook users without the need to leave the social networks website, now the company is celebrating Series C funding to the tune of $25 million after the company’s CEO Rick Marini announced that the Facebook platform surpassed 25 million users.
To date BranchOut has been able to raise $49 million by going after people who believe “all workers, regardless of industry, role or level,” should create and share their professional profiles with everyone.
By focusing outside of technology and managerial roles which LinkedIn dominates BranchOut has been able to develop a different type of following and the company hopes to bring in even more “new college graduates, retail workers, nurses, software engineers and military veterans re-entering the workforce.”
