LinkedIn is a long game and a brand play, not a lead spigot. Judge it only by early inbound and you'll quit before it works. Decide if it fits your business, set holistic expectations, own a narrow niche, stay consistent for months, and measure who's paying attention, not just impressions and engagement.
Founder-led marketing isn't optional at the start, because early on you are the marketing. The real decision is whether you stay intentional about it as you build a team. It's not one-size-fits-all: LinkedIn, earned media, events, your own rooms, publishing, founder outbound, and sponsored content all count. Pick a few that fit you, run them on a system, keep your position consistent, and be yourself.
