Justin Welsh — Co-Founder
Over the last decade, I helped build two companies past a $1B valuation and raise over $300M in venture capital. Then, in 2019, I burned out. So, I decided to walk away from my high-paying executive job. But, before I could, I had a hypothesis. I believed building an audience online would be an incredible asset. That attention was the new currency and would play a major part in my success as an entrepreneur. So, I started building my brand on LinkedIn in early 2019. And the results were pretty phenomenal. In just 6 months, I grew from zero followers to over 20,000. And on August 1st of 2019, I walked away from my executive role at a fast-growing startup. Since that day, I've spent my time building a number of one-person Internet businesses. My results: → $12.5M+ in business revenue at a ~86% profit margin. → 800K+ people following my journey on LinkedIn → 560K+ people following my journey on Twitter → 180K+ people read my weekly newsletter → 1B+ impressions in the last 7 years If you want to learn more about how I did this, you can take my self-guided masterclass.
