2025 Annual Report
The LinkedIn Growth Playbook for Startup Founders
2025 Annual Report
As a founder, LinkedIn is where investors scope you out and where customers can learn who you are behind the scenes. More importantly, it's where your network becomes your net worth.
This playbook will help you:
more leads generated by startups whose founders post at least 10x per year
higher deal sizes when executives post regularly
faster deal closures when buyers feel like they know you
Some of my best-performing posts have come from the most raw, in-the-moment stories

We really want to see behind the scenes and hear about the founder’s story. Investors are buying into the whole operating system. The more credibility and trust you can build, the better.

Even with a link in your post, a good post will still get good reach. I’ve included a link in every single post I have done, and have 43M impressions this year.
