About

Struggling to turn LinkedIn into real business growth? You’re not alone - most entrepreneurs are. In 18 months, I went from 3k to 395k followers, generated 320M+ views, and built a mid-6-figures bootstrapped business with zero CAC. Now I help committed entrepreneurs & CXOs grow their businesses on LinkedIn. Before posting on LinkedIn, I thought social media was a total waste of time. My journey: - 2015–2020: Investment Banking & Private Equity (Goldman Sachs, Vitruvian Partners) - 2020–2022: Business school - still convinced social media was all fluff - 2023: Built a VC-backed crypto startup and watched competitors skyrocket using social media - 2024: Started posting myself → grew from 3k to 395k followers (fastest-growing new LinkedIn account in the world), generated 300M+ views, built a 7-figure bootstrapped business with zero CAC (Saywhat[dot]ai) Since then, I’ve worked with 600+ entrepreneurs to grow their brands and businesses on LinkedIn. How I can help you: 1️⃣ For solopreneurs, coaches, and consultants Check out Saywhat[dot]ai - our software platform & community helping 600+ entrepreneurs. Median user posting 5x/week sees +130% views in 90 days. Average user sees 800% more views in 90 days. For more case studies, check out the website. 2️⃣ For Founders/CXOs I’ll run and grow your LinkedIn end-to-end: strategy, content creation, and audience building to grow your business. I work exclusively with Series A+ startups or $10M+ ARR who are: - Committed to LinkedIn as a serious, long-term growth channel - Willing to invest significantly in brand building (not “testing the waters”) If that’s you, send me a DM to learn more. 3️⃣ For free weekly tips Subscribe to my Level Up Newsletter for LinkedIn growth tactics.
