META

Meta Platforms, Inc. builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. The company's products include Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and its Reality Labs division focused on virtual and augmented reality. Facebook remains the world's largest social network with nearly 3 billion monthly active users, while Instagram and WhatsApp each serve over 2 billion users. Meta generates most of its revenue through targeted digital advertising across its family of apps. Under CEO Mark Zuckerberg's leadership, the company rebranded from Facebook to Meta in 2021 to reflect its focus on building the metaverse. Headquartered in Menlo Park, California, Meta has invested heavily in AI infrastructure and large language models, while also developing the Quest line of VR headsets and smart glasses through its Reality Labs division.
