About Eric Ly

I am passionate about combining innovative products, technologies and business models to create highly successful companies. I was a co-founder at LinkedIn. I worked with a talented team to enable professionals to connect in fundamentally better ways with each other online.(Since you\'re on this site, you know the rest!)I am an experienced entrepreneur who has seen a lot about what succeeds and what doesn\'t, and cares a lot about building great companies. There are a lot of important ingredients. You can ask me what they are if you\'re curious.
