It owns and operates several major social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger.

Initially launched as "TheFacebook," the platform quickly expanded beyond college campuses and became a global social media powerhouse. Over the years, Meta has grown through strategic acquisitions and continuous innovation, becoming one of the largest and most influential technology companies in the world.
Meta has raised significant funding over multiple rounds, with its initial public offering (IPO) in 2012 being one of the largest in tech history, raising $16 billion and valuing the company at $104 billion.
