Now, this is what my LinkedIn profile looks like and although I donโt want to show off, it is an essential part of finding investors. I have found investors through LinkedIn and by posts like this.
๐ฎ Future
I have 5 more companies that I started investing in but havenโt closed yet. I am controlling so hard to not announce beforehand.
If you have a cool idea or tech and need funding ranging from $5k to $25k, I will be more than happy to have a look at your pitch deck.
I am also working on a product, whose KPIs I often write on Twitter.
