Best of LinkedInfluencers

In 2025, startup founders have basically become influencers; posting daily on LinkedIn with “vulnerable” stories that just happen to end with a fundraising update or a Calendly link. They’re bravely using AI to solve problems they created themselves, generously documenting every second of the journey. It’s not about attention, of course. It’s about authenticity. That 2am post about burnout and cold Chipotle? Thats pure courage. At TechGrunch, we’re just here to support the real heroes: founders who post through it.
