LinkedIn has launched (in)cubator, a program that allows any company employee with an idea to organize a team and pitch their project to executive staff once a quarter. Those whose ideas are greenlit by cofounder Reid Hoffman and CEO Jeff Weinr, among others, then get up to three months to spend developing that project.
(in)cubator is a more evolved version of the company's "hackdays," in which employees work on various creative projects one Friday a month. So far, LinkedIn says it's approved five (in)cubator projects, including a tool called go/book, a meeting booking system the company is currently using internally.
