Let us in!

There are a lot of clubs out there where you can only get in if you’re wearing the right clothes or know the right people. But don’t worry, not at XING: As long as you are a “professional”, you’re welcome to be part of the XING community. In other words: the picture below is a joke, one of a series of photos taken for the German newsmagazine Stern in connection with the “Deutscher Gründer Preis” (German Entrepreneurial Prize), in which XING was voted one of three finalists in the category “Aufsteiger” (Up and Comers). Companies nominated in this category must have been founded  less than seven years ago, and have already garnered attention as a result of excellent growth.

Update: Be on the lookout for the real picture in the upcoming Stern issues on June 21st!
