The platform now has more than 400,000 physician members.
Doximity was launched in 2011 as a networking tool to help physicians collaborate and connect, according to a release.
“Vertical social networks are emerging as the new guilds in today’s workforce. They give like-minded professionals the opportunity to connect and learn from one another in a safe environment tailored to their industry, without extraneous noise and distractions,” said Konstantin Guericke, co-founder of LinkedIn and Doximity board member, in the release. “Doximity has really taken the time to listen to doctors and has built a platform to reflect their needs. The company’s growth is a clear indicator that they’re onto something big.”
