A start-up founder get his funding by connecting and building trust with someone in Australia who knew someone who wanted to invest.   Shocking sexist job ad by a company from Toronto that appeared on LinkedIn.   Three changes to LinkedIn this week;  The main font and colour scheme has reverted to the dull black and grey scheme.  You can now embed link to a wider variety of media in LinkedIn published posts  Invitation ‘cards’ have been redesigned making it easier to see a customized message.
