5 Founders and Millions in Revenue From LinkedIn

5 Founders Driving Millions from LinkedIn Without Paid Ads or Massive Teams

I audited 5 of the fastest-growing founders on LinkedIn.

Each one is generating millions in revenue from the platform.

  • No ads

  • No massive audiences

  • No bloated sales teams

They’re using content as leverage — and building category-leading demand engines in real time.

Here’s exactly how they’re doing it:

Founder #1: Enzo Avigo – CEO of June

  • Raised $2M from YC

  • Scaled from 7K to 63K followers

  • 18M impressions. 20K website visits. All organic.

How he does it:

  • Starts with an Insight Gap

  • Introduces a New Lens (for example, “Push Event” framework)

  • Subtly ties in June’s Edge — without ever selling

Content Breakdown:

  • TOFU: Big SaaS frameworks + myth-busting

  • MOFU: Customer stories and metrics

  • BOFU: Product updates framed around founder pain

    He’s not pitching analytics. He’s owning the churn narrative.

Founder #2: Guillaume Moubeche – CEO of lempire

  • Banned by LinkedIn 3x

  • Bootstrapped to $30M ARR

  • Built Taplio, Lemlist, Lemcal — all feeding each other

Formula:

  • Outdated Belief: “You need VC to win”

  • New Path: “Audience first > raise later”

  • Proof: “$30M ARR without a cent raised”

Content Breakdown:

  • TOFU: Viral takes like turning down an $80M offer

  • MOFU: Lessons from scaling his tools

  • BOFU: Tactical plays from growth meetings and team calls

He’s not building tools. He’s building an ecosystem.

Founder #3: Amos Joseph – CEO of Swan AI

  • 9 weeks post-launch: 50+ paying customers

  • 1.5M monthly impressions

  • Scaling 50% MoM — all from content

Framework:

  • Breaks status quo: “You need SDRs to scale”

  • Reframes: AI agents > human headcount

  • Proves with real numbers from Swan

Content Breakdown:

  • TOFU: Startup contrarian takes

  • MOFU: AI use case breakdowns

  • BOFU: Vision posts showing the journey to $30M ARR with 3 founders

He’s not selling AI. He’s selling the future of lean scale.

Founder #4: Austin Hughes – CEO of Unify

  • 150+ meetings booked

  • $49M pipeline built

  • Powers $81M+ pipeline for brands like Justworks, Flock Safety

His rhythm:

  • Breaks belief: “Outbound is dead”

  • Reframes with signal-based outbound

  • Proves with results: 63 demos/month from AI agents

Content Breakdown:

  • TOFU: High-viral ideas that punch hard

  • MOFU: Exact system walkthroughs

  • BOFU: Case studies with no CTA

He’s building the new outbound bible — on LinkedIn.

Founder #5: Gal Aga – CEO of Aligned

  • 3,750 followers/month

  • 1.5M weekly impressions

  • 65% of lead flow from content

  • Raised $8M Series A from LinkedIn alone

Structure:

  • Anchors in B2B sales pain

  • Twists with strong opinions

  • Delivers clear takeaways with “aha” moments

Content Breakdown:

  • TOFU: AE + founder tips that get shared

  • MOFU: Sales call insights + buyer objections

  • BOFU: Public product pushback → viral content

Gal’s posts read like a CEO diary — and that’s why they work.

What They All Have in Common

These founders aren’t waiting for pipeline.

They’ve built LinkedIn into a predictable demand engine.

They follow a repeatable cadence:

→ Challenge outdated beliefs
→ Introduce a new lens
→ Prove it with real results
→ Become the face of the category

This isn’t “influencer” content.

It’s a demand strategy.

Built with consistency. Compounded with trust. Closed in the DMs.
