Rashmi Sinha founded SlideShare in 2006 with the goal of building a global community for sharing presentations online. Starting as a beta site in May 2006, SlideShare officially launched in October 2006 and has since grown to host over 1 million presentations shared by a monthly audience of 15 million visitors. Sinha aims to connect the presentation sharing community and encourage reuse, resharing and mashups of content under Creative Commons licensing from the beginning.
