Six degrees of separation never had it so good. At LinkedIn, Hoffman proved that the “I know someone who knows someone” networking tenet could operate on a worldwide scale.

He serves on the boards of Airbnb, Edmodo, Mozilla (Firefox), Shopkick, Swipely and Zynga and has co-led investments in Coupons.com, Groupon, and Viki. He was also on the founding board at PayPal.
