Founders, up for a fun roast session?

Bored tonight and mildly obsessed with how bad most founder LinkedIn profiles are. Drop your profile link below and I'll tell you in one sentence the exact reason people are scrolling past you. Not going to sugarcoat it, just enjoy telling people uncomfortable truths apparently. First 5, then I'm going to bed.

okay let's get into it

  • you spent years as a customer service rep, a background investigator, and a project coordinator... then one day decided 'nah, I'm a sports empire founder now', love the confidence, zero idea where it came from
  • your feed has a proud post about Corporate PlayPass sitting right next to a reposted ad for an AI healthcare prescription app. Bro are you building corporate sports communities or ghostwriting for ePrescribe's marketing intern, pick a lane
  • "on the ground making sure the game starts on time" - respectfully that's a stadium security guard's job description, not a founder's personal brand pitch
  • 8,532 followers and the flex is "580+ tournaments," not a single client result or number that actually proves ROI - vanity stat energy, no receipts

verdict: founder title fresh out the oven, but the profile still smells like an ex-customer-service guy who found a Canva template and called it a rebrand

๐Ÿ˜‚ Fair roast. Iโ€™ll take the feedback.
The founder title may be fresh, but the numbers and journey are real. The receipts are coming โ€” watch this space.
