Most founders hide. Here’s how Anne Boden turned visibility into £4B. In 2014, Anne Boden left a 30 year banking career. People told her she was ‘too old’ and ‘too female’ to start a bank. The market doubted her. Instead of blending in, she leaned in. She didn’t post bland product updates. She wrote essays on LinkedIn, published Banking on It, and became the loudest advocate for SMEs during the pandemic. She positioned herself as a policy thinker (not just a tech founder). The results were undeniable: •Market Share: ~9% of the UK SME banking market •Profit: £195M pre-tax in 2023 (first neobank to reach full-year profitability) •Valuation: £4B •Awards: 4 consecutive Best British Bank In an industry built on trust, the quietest company is rarely the safest bet. Visibility compounds into credibility, attracting talent, calming investors, and winning customers. Founder visibility isn’t vanity. It’s narrative control. If you’re not shaping your story, the market (and the algorithm) will do it for you. How are you building your authority this year?

Everyone knows investors check your LinkedIn. But most people don’t really know what they’re actually looking for. They don’t sit there reading every line. They just open your profile, scroll a bit and get a feeling. Something like: • ok, this looks solid Or • not sure about this I asked a few investors about this recently. The answers were very simple. More like: • Have they actually done something real? • Do I understand what they’re building? • Do they look focused, or a bit messy? • Would I trust this person with money? That’s it. What I see again and again: Most founders think their experience will speak for them. It doesn’t. If it’s not clear in a few seconds, you already lose some trust.

100 people can tell the same story. But only one gets read. Same story. Different clarity. Most people don’t have a content problem. They just sit there and think: How do I make this sound good? So they pick safe words. Stuff that sounds smart. But says nothing. Looks professional. Reads like everyone else. The people who actually get read are simpler: • they explain what they mean • they say things others skip • they don’t try to sound impressive They just make it clear You don’t need a better story. Stop watering down the one you have.

Your LinkedIn profile isn’t invisible. People see it and leave. Wednesdays. Late morning. • Accept connections • Reply to messages • Book calls • Leave comments You’re here. They’re here. But most leave your profile with: No message. No feedback. Just gone. Your product is solid. Your team is talented. The problem: People don’t get what you do. Every confused visitor is a lost deal, a lost investor, a lost partnership. In fintech, clarity isn’t optional. You don’t have a visibility problem. You have a clarity problem. Fix it. Or watch opportunities vanish, silently.

Your hiring badge is an `I’m desperate` signal to top talent. You closed your round. Added the `hiring` badge. Refreshing your inbox every 10 minutes. Nothing. 1. Top talent isn’t hunting. → They run complex systems at competitors. → Golden handcuffs: routine, security, paychecks. → A badge won’t move them. Only a vision bigger than their current reality will. 2. They’re vetting your judgment, not perks. → Ping-pong tables don’t matter. → They watch how you show up. → Leader or risk? If you can’t explain why your growth matters, they stay. 3. Speed is currency. → Slower than their current VP? They stay. → Top performers sniff inefficiency from a mile away. → First call counts. If you can’t close fast, you’re not playing for the elite. Most founders think they’re hiring. They’re actually broadcasting. That’s why the heavy hitters never show up.

Say your generation without saying it 💁‍♀️ I’ll start: MSN Messenger status updates were my first personal brand 🤣 Your turn 👀

I sent 400 CVs before #LinkedIn. 0 responses. Not even a test task. You know you’re good at what you do. But market don’t even know you exist. At some point, I realized: it’s okay. The market had no idea who I was. I needed to stop playing their game and start my own. I moved to LinkedIn. Not to post content. To make sense of my knowledge. I applied psychology + algorithm insights to build what I now call Authority Architecture. Fast forward: those 400 rejections feel like a different life. I have clients. Recognition. Visibility. I don’t hustle loudly. I don’t post generic advice. But I do know one thing: No one builds a technical profile better than me. Being great at your work is only half the battle. Clarity and recognition do the rest.

You raised the capital. But can you raise the trust?   Closing a round is huge. But for fintech founders, the real battle starts now.   According to the Edelman Trust Barometer: • 64% of people trust traditional banks • 47% trust digital payment companies. Even with millions in the bank, trust starts at zero. Why? People are exhausted by tech: - They worry about their data. - They doubt regulation keeps up. - They fear the next scandal.   They don’t just want a faster app, they want a founder they can believe in. Research shows the fastest way to bridge this gap: show up consistently. Be human. Share wins, challenges, and you’re thinking. LinkedIn isn’t just for announcing your Series, it’s where trust is earned.   You have the funding to build the product.
Do you have the voice to build the trust?

A few days ago, I sent fintech founder a 4-page strategy document. Yesterday, I opened it again and thought: This looks like extra work. If I were them, I’d think: Where am I supposed to find time for this? Fair. On the surface, it does look like more effort. More decisions. More things to think about. But that’s not what it is. What most founders don’t have here isn’t time. It’s visibility. No consistent presence. No positioning. No inbound. So everything depends on outreach, timing, and luck. That document doesn’t add work. It replaces that. When I step in: You don’t figure out LinkedIn. You don’t build a posting habit. You don’t become a content creator. You stay focused on your business. I handle the rest. Nothing generic. Nothing forced. It still sounds like you: •clearer •sharper •impossible to ignore. And over time, the right people start coming to you.

We are looking at consistency all wrong. Most of what I see on my feed is about feeding the algorithm. But, the algorithm isn’t the one signing your contracts. People who might work with you look for something much simpler. Reliability. They want to know that your thinking doesn’t suddenly disappear just because: - you’re tired - the week became chaotic - or you’re simply not in the mood In that sense, consistency isn’t really a social media tactic. It’s more like a risk signal. When someone is consistent, working with them feels safer. It signals they won’t drop the ball when things get messy. When I see someone show up consistently, I usually see other skills behind it: • Self-governance: They don’t need someone standing over them • Emotional regulation: They produce even when the mood isn’t perfect • Systems thinking: They build structure instead of waiting for inspiration • Strategic endurance: They play long games For me, the rule is simple. My standards don’t change depending on location, mood, or conditions. The thinking stays the same. The work stays the same. Because at the end of the day, consistency isn’t really about content. It’s about professional identity.

People who ghost you often come back as clients. Founders get this wrong. Silence ≠ rejection. Recently I reached out to a fintech founder. No pitch. No agenda. Just a quick note. He ghosted. Three weeks later: Asked a few questions. Booked a call. Didn’t show up. Rescheduled. Showed up. Now he’s a client. They’re watching. Reading your posts. Figuring out if you’re good. By the time they reach out, they’ve already decided. No chasing. No convincing. Just show up. Just be good at what you do 🌱

You can build a billion-dollar company and still be invisible on #LinkedIn. This founder built multiple unicorns 🦄 His LinkedIn headline looks like everyone else’s. Yesterday, I analyzed his profile. • Multiple companies founded. • Multiple unicorns built. • Decades of high-stakes market wars. Your real-world weight is 100x larger than your digital voice. On the visual, I drafted 6 possible headlines for him. 5 look professional by LinkedIn standards. But only one actually builds category authority. Why #6 works: • Expertise: Decades of scaling experience. • Perspective: Scaling scars, the lessons no one else talks about. • Outcome: Strategic leverage for the next wave of leaders. • Method: Closing the authority gap, a problem only he can solve. Leaders aren’t followed for their money. They’re followed for a perspective the market can’t ignore. Which one did you think was correct at first glance?

Content that feels too polished is the least trustworthy. Everyone has problems. Founders too. Some don’t show them in their content. Perfect metrics, instant wins, flawless outcomes …. That’s polished. And what happens before that shiny result? Messy pivots, late nights, failed launches …. Mistakes. That’s what everyone really wants to see. Show it the right way, and it’s not risky. It proves your skills and authority. I’ve seen it first-hand. The stories that resonate aren’t the ones that look perfect, they’re the ones that feel real. Which one is your content giving?

Grateful to everyone who didn’t hire me. Seriously. If I had landed a corporate 9-5 in the Netherlands, I probably wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing today. Was it hard? Absolutely. Even when you think you’re mentally and financially prepared, rejection still stings. And it doesn’t get easier. My path over the last 9 months looked like this: → Visa-sponsored role seeker in NL → SME & startup consulting → Helping C-levels grow on LinkedIn → Ghostwriting for fintech & banking leaders Not exactly the MBA curriculum. But building something from zero teaches you things no BBA, MBA, or book ever will: • Running webinars and 1:1 sessions with executives • Learning how founders (and investors) actually think • Figuring out how LinkedIn works for C-level visibility • Building authority from zero Along the way I met incredible people. And learned lessons I now use every day in my work. Rejection pushed me to figure out what I really want and how to make it happen. Ever had a rejection that ended up being a hidden blessing?

Most founders hate the idea of a ghostwriter. They need one, badly. But something feels off. Usually: ‘If someone else writes for me, it won’t sound like me’. And yeah, that makes sense. A lot of ghostwriters don’t really write you. They write clean sentences. Good structure. But the same tone as everyone else. People aren’t afraid of ghostwriting. They’re afraid of losing their voice. Some think it takes more time: long calls, drafts, back-and-forths. Most of the time, I build posts straight from voice notes. Half the work is already in your head. You don’t need a creative writer. You need a translator. Someone who takes your logic and gives it the weight it deserves on a screen. Still your ideas. Still your voice. Just clearer. If it feels fake, something’s off. If it feels heavy, something’s off. It should feel simple. Like: yes, exactly what I wanted to say.

He wanted to go viral. I saw disaster waiting. The Founder said: Give me jokes, high energy, laughs. Serious face. Disciplined tone. High-stakes fintech. Hormozi’s burrito post came to mind: 200K followers. Zero business outcome. ‘Visibility without alignment is just noise’. I asked: What are your goals? • Top talent • Investors • Regulators • Clients Then I saw it: the canyon between who he wanted to be and who he actually is. Click Book a Call on a viral sketch? Meet a strict founder. Trust dies. Fake. Bait-and-switch. He doesn’t need humor. He needs credibility, expertise, leadership. So I said no and walked away. Some chase algorithms. I build alignment.

If someone promises #LinkedIn authority in 30 days, ask if they also sell abs in 2 weeks 🤣 Looks good. Sounds easy. Rarely works. Week 1: Let’s go viral 🚀 Week 3: 11 likes + identity crisis Week 4: LinkedIn doesn’t work Reality: 0-3 months → noticed 3-6 → trusted 6-12 → chosen No hacks. Consistency + clear, strategic positioning. After 5 posts, is it obvious what you do? If not, that’s your problem. Authority takes time. Confusion takes 3 posts.

5 mistakes I keep seeing in ‘good’ #LinkedIn posts. I keep seeing smart people write posts that should work. But somehow, they don’t land. No founders, no investors, no real traction. Here’s what I see going wrong: 1. Excited to share…. Feels junior, not confident. 2. World-class/cutting-edge If you have to say it, it doesn’t land. 3. Hashtags + tagging overload Looks like you’re pushing reach, not building signal. 4. Reactive content Commenting on others ≠ leading anything. 5. Everything in one post Too much = nothing sticks. People aren’t scrolling for noise. They’re scanning for signal. And the signal? •Simple thinking. •Clear posts. •No fluff.
