Cember.net is the leading Turkish Social Network for business professionals. It connects business professionals in a similar way as the well known international business networks Xing or LinkedIn. Users can create a profile and establish and maintain business contacts via the platform. In this way, users have access at all times to the latest personal and private data for their contacts and will be informed, early on, when their contacts’ career paths change. In addition, users can specifically find out how and with which contacts they have got to know any person in the network. The business model is based on a combination of monthly premium membership and income through advertising.
Cember.net was founded in 2005 in Istanbul by the former Accenture consultants Nihan and Caglar Erol. Today, the Alexa traffic rating places the company among the top100 in Turkey, and its market share of approx. 80% makes it the undisputed market leader among Turkish social networks for business professionals.
Holtzbrinck Ventures GmbH sold its shares to XING AG.
