And this year was a stark reminder of just that!
Nine months ago, I started posting content for startup founders on LinkedIn and Instagram, mainly to get a bunch of thoughts out of my own head.
When I was in the thick of it running Classy, I became frustrated by the lack of quality content for startup CEOs. For SaaS, there were some great blogs like Jason Lemkin’s and David Skok’s, but these weren’t focused on the role of a startup CEO–what to do, and what not to do. How to become a real leader and scale a team.
What I really wanted was guidance from a successful CEO who had been through it already… but I couldn’t find that anywhere.
So I made a promise to myself that someday, if Classy was successful, I would share all of my own learnings as a startup founder & CEO. And maybe these learnings would be helpful to other founders/CEOs going through a similar thing.
That’s what 2023 was all about – the start of sharing this journey.
And honestly, I was blown away by the response. I went from posting stuff that only got a handful of likes to a community of 76K followers in only 9 months. And, probably, the most exciting development… launching my first Startup CEO Accelerator and Community.
But the journey is just getting started.
I’m extremely grateful for every single person who decides to click “follow,” read my blog or join our Startup CEO Community. And I don’t take these relationships lightly. You can rely on me to continue delivering throughout 2024 and beyond.
For now, I thought it’d be fun to take a look back at my top posts of 2023 across LinkedIn and Instagram. Out of 200+, here are the top 50!
See you on the other side (2024).
Much love,
Scot
