LinkedIn Post Ideas for Founders: 50+ Prompts for Growth

As a founder, your time is limited. You don't have hours to brainstorm content.

But you need to be visible to attract investors, top talent, and early adopters.

Founders who post consistently on LinkedIn get:

⚡ 3 Templates to Copy-Paste

Template 1: The "Hiring Hook"

We are looking for a Founding Engineer.

Most job descriptions ask for:

• 10 years experience
• A degree from Stanford

We don't care about that. Be ready to:

1. Ship code on Day 1.
2. Own the entire backend.
3. Break things fast.

If you want safety, go to Big Tech. If you want impact, DM me.

Template 2: The "Milestone"

It took us 12 months to hit $10k MRR. It took us 3 months to hit $20k MRR.

Growth is not linear.

The first year was purely about:

1. Talking to users.
2. Fixing bugs.
3. Surviving.

Don't give up in the "flatline" phase. That's where the foundation is built.

Template 3: The "Contrarian Take"

Unpopular opinion: Raising VC is not a success metric.

It's a liability. You are selling a piece of your company.

We just crossed $1M ARR completely bootstrapped. We answer to customers, not board members.

Here is why we chose this path: [Reason]
