Second time founder here, I am wondering if other founders out there get actual value from LinkedIn or just use it to grow their brand/presence to boost their startups.
I've been doing founder interviews for a project I'm building. I wasn't specifically asking about LinkedIn, it just kept coming up.
One founder put it at 0.1% trust. Another said founders openly mock the posts with each other. A third said the issue isn't even dishonesty, it's that the content isn't useful. Success stories stripped of failure points are just noise.
Curious if this matches what others are experiencing. Do you find any LinkedIn content genuinely useful for figuring out what's working? Or has everyone already written it off and just not said so?

Been filtering AI noise for months. Techno-utopians selling superabundance. Doomers forecasting Mad Max. Zero citations from either side.
Benedict Evans (former a16z partner) on Lenny’s Podcast finally cuts through it.
His take: AI is as big as the internet. And only as big.
Worth an hour of your Sunday.
I’ve been speaking to a lot of founders lately asking: is the AI noise making it harder or easier to make decisions about your startup or career?
What is the best use of time when you are a team of two and your product is out there but no traction? Technical and non-technical.
I've been interviewing early-stage founders and almost all of them said hiring (not product, not PMF) is their biggest challenge. Specifically the personality fit, not credentials.
Is this your experience too? How do you screen for culture fit when you're pre-revenue and have almost nothing to offer on paper?
