Last year, the startup unveiled two premium services for businesses, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techcrunch.com\/2009\/10\/06\/slideshare-lets-users-pay-to-promote-content-and-create-lead-generation-campaigns\/\">LeadShare and AdShare.<\/a> SlideShare lets anyone share presentations and also serves as a social discovery platform for users to find relevant content and connect with other members who share similar interests. Today, the startup is<a href=\"http:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/portal\/site\/home\/permalink\/?ndmViewId=news_view&amp;newsId=20100203005810&amp;newsLang=en\"> launching<\/a> another business-friendly offering, branded channels.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/person\/rashmi-sinha\"><br \/>\nRashmi Sinha,<\/a> SlideShare&#8217;s co-founder and CEO, says that much of the startup&#8217;s community is composed of businesses users, and SlideShare is increasingly becoming a vehicle for businesses to socialize and share their content, from documents to webinars to presentations. Branded channels help users find this content easily and in a more organized manner. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/ogilvypharma\">Ogilvy,<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/microsoftoffice\">Microsoft,<\/a> and even the President Obama&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/whitehouse\">White House<\/a> have all created branded channels for their content. <\/p>\n<p>SlideShare&#8217;s branded channels can be fully customized, with pricing ranging depending on the businesses&#8217; preferred layout. Sinha declined to share the pricing range for the channels. As SlideShare continues to attract business users, the startup has been rolling out premium services to not offer compelling features to users but to also monetize the platform. LeadShare is a self-service tool that businesses can use to capturing leads from documents and presentations and AdShare allows users promote their content  via ads on SlideShare\u2019s platform.<\/p>\n<p>Competitor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/\">Scribd <\/a> also offers branded readers.
