The conference room in the Mountain View, Calif., headquarters of LinkedIn was packed with the stars of Silicon Valley. Top executives of Facebook, Google and Twitter gathered around a table; the billionaire Sean Parker looked on from a back row. The guest of honor: Cory A. Booker, the mayor of Newark.
"He's part of this tide," said Gina Bianchini, an entrepreneur who was at the meeting, in May 2009. "It feels like he's one of us."
Mr. Booker personally has obtained money for the start-up, called Waywire, from influential investors, including Eric E. Schmidt, Google's executive chairman.

Booker's probable bio in 2016:
1987-1997 University Student (Stanford, Oxford, Yale)
1997 Staff Attorney for the Urban Justice Center in New York
1998-2002 Newark City Counsel
2002-2006 Unknown
2006-2013 Mayor of Newark
2013-2016 U.S. Senator
This "Waywire" startup is a B.S. money-funneling scam, like Hillary's cattle futures, Bill's and Hillary's Chappaqua house, and Obama's house.
Like someone with political science, sociology, history, and law degrees, who the Mayor of Newark and who is running a campaign for Senator has any time to contributed to a start-up.
Booker has all ready proven to be a lap dog.......
Cory Booker’s big accomplishment ?

Newark: Not just the rudest city in New Jersey, nor the rudest in the United States, nor even the North American continent... rudest on Earth.
“Cory Bookers big accomplishment?”
No, it was presiding over a city where the murder rate was so bad highway billboards and ads on the sides of buses screamed “STOP THE KILLING” in huge black letters. Things haven’t gotten better; they just stopped reporting the crime.
“Meritocracy” ping.
Thanks magellan.
