“We don't have time to send DMs and create content”

But let’s be real...

most people do not have time for this!

(And everyone hates DMs)

3) Have better things to do

My parents were here for 2 weeks in Okinawa.

We spent time together. Real time.

Threw ninja stars. Ate meals. Walked the beaches.

I took some time off.

And besides clients' work...

I paused most of my other tasks.

But here's what didn't stop.

My system.

While I was with them, my DM agent was working.

Finding leads. Sending messages. Booking calls.

I wasn't checking my phone every 5 minutes.

I wasn't stressed about pipeline.

I was just... there with them.

And the conversations kept flowing.

That's the whole point.

Most people think you have to choose.

Either you're grinding. 

Or you're living.

But that's a false choice.

If your business depends on you showing up every day...

You don't have a business.

You have a job.

Having something that would run without me was vital...

Because that is how I want to live my life.

Even if I have a one person business.

So...
While I'm throwing ninja stars with my dad...

My LinkedIn machine is working.

(yes, we actually did that 🤣)

While I'm eating dinner with my mom...

Leads are being validated.

While I'm sleeping, replies are coming in.

This is what automation actually means.

Not cutting corners.

Not sounding like spam.

It means building once so you never have to grind again.

It means being with the people you want to be with.

And still having your pipeline full.

That's the life I wanted.

And that's the life I'm living now.

P.S. Does your system runs without you?

71% reply and 3 interested leads.

How these 2 clients did it in 21 days.

Client A started from zero on LinkedIn.

No followers. 
No content. 
No clue.

👉 Three weeks in, he had three interested leads.

(founders in fintech)

From no business to interested leads.

Client B ran his first cold outreach campaign.

71% reply rate.

Not 7%. Not 17%. 

Seventy-one percent.

Here's what I did for both of them.

1) I optimized their profiles.

Not the vanity stuff. 

Positioning that made buyers stop scrolling and start reading.

Messaging that made them feel seen, not sold to.

2) I had them create at least two pieces of content.

Not daily posting marathons. 

Two thoughtful pieces.

Content that showed their thinking. 

Their experience. 

Their perspective.

Not "here's how to do X." 

More like "here's what I learned when I tried X."

Real. Honest. Human.

Then came the part that changed everything.
3) We focused on relationships over selling.

No aggressive DMs. 

No "let's hop on a call" openers.

Instead: genuine comments. 

Real observations. 

Actual interest in the people they were reaching out to.

Warm them up first. 

Build the bridge. 

Then, only then, mention what you do.

Client A's three leads came because he showed up as a real person.

Not a salesperson. 

Client B's 71% reply rate came because his DMs felt like they were from a person.

Not a bot. 

Not a template. 

A human who actually read their profile.

Here's the thing nobody talks about.

LinkedIn isn't broken. 

Most approaches are.

Most people optimize their profile...

Post once... 

Then DM like they're running a telemarketing operation.

Then they wonder why nobody replies.

But when you do the work:
- Profile
- Content 
-Relationships

...the system works.

Both clients proved it in their first month.

You can too.

Start with your profile. 

Make it professional.

Add two pieces of real content. 

Show your thinking.

Then reach out to 50 people this week. 

Not to sell. To connect.

Watch what happens.

The pipeline builds itself when you build it right.

P.S> Human first. Sales later.

I get 53.1% reply from my DMs.

Here is what I do (daily):

Research 35-40 prospects.
Validate about 24 leads.
Research all of them.
Send 30+ DMs.
Reply to DMs.

That is about 90-160 minutes a day.

In reality, I do not do any of this.

AI and VAs do this for me.

Here's the system:

My VA uses Kondo: Superhuman for LinkedIn DMs to manage the inbox.

-She splits conversations into tags

- Quickly closes low-priority threads.

- Uses keyboard shortcuts to reply faster.

What used to take 1 hour+/ now takes 20 mins for my VA.

Meanwhile, my AI agent validates leads.

Researches them.

Sends personalized DMs in my voice.

And tags me when needed.

(I typically clear my inbox in 5 mins/d)

No spam. No templates. Just context.

Then Extrovert comes in.

I curate feeds of my prospect's posts.

The AI summarizes them.

Suggests thoughtful comments.

My VAs reviews. I approves. I engages.

Two comments before a connection.

(15-20%+ acceptance and reply on average)

Top-of-mind without the daily grind.

The numbers you see above require 5 minutes of my time per day on average.

P.S. How much time do you spend in the DMs every day?

Humans in VC

Writing for a  VC community. 
writing newsletters & podcasts, youtube scripts.

Writer

Humans in Tech

writing to build a tech founder's community. 
Great writing is great thinking.

Stealth Startup

I have seen a great market opportunity which I can easily cash in. 
started taking action over that & building a new startup.

Superskills

I had a great idea to start working on it. shown bravery and started taking action. (executing)
I was building a programme to cater for kids from 5th to 8th grade kids 
helping them build emotional quotient. 

Then I got incubated at COEP's bhau institute, Applied for YC startup school but got rejected. 
Had a team of 5 people with a small office at COEP Bhau building. 

We launched our MVP version and it didn't work out. 
The market that I was in was shrinking. 

It made a lot of sense for me to quit working on this idea. 

Closed this company and started exploring different markets. 

"started reading books on building startups & entrepreneurship "

Stealth Mode

I started my first company while I was still in college. 
Built a team of 10 people. 
Grabbed a contract & made around 1.5 lakhs. (for myself) 
Due to insufficient cash flow couldn't pay the salaries on time. 

I did a terrible job at managing the team 
The biggest lesson I learned was to sharpen the axe before you cut a big tree. 

Failed to build this because I was doing this just to make money. 
Shut down the company and started focusing back on studies and building my skills.

COEP Impressions

Head of Marketing and Public Relations

I am the founder of most famous event " Comiking " in impressions fest. this event is all about standup comedy . it is famous among comics in Pune and Bombay region.

Event founder & organiser 

“Most Silicon Valley-based investors struggle with attracting top-quality founders, limited partners and building a meaningful network on LinkedIn.” 

“The reason is because their content is often too focused on promoting themselves rather than providing value to founders and the industry they operate in. 

They dont post valuable content daily on linkedin which decreases visibility. 
They dont add valuable comments on industry posts which again reduces their chance to be seen as authority. 


This disconnects them from the real pain points founders in their industry face and makes them appear unapproachable.”

“When this happens, founders overlook these investors, causing them to lose out on valuable deal flow and networking opportunities.”


“Until all of a sudden, they’re stuck in a position where they’re only attracting mediocre startups and their influence in the ecosystem dwindles.”


“What I do is 

"I help you Build a high-quality network in the startup ecosystem by ghostwriting 90 LinkedIn posts in 90 days, attracting  top-tier founders and  influential limited partners."

“By publishing 90 posts in 90 days, you will attract  100+  top founders and 75 +  influential investors, growing your network in the startup ecosystem”

“All of which allow you to build the biggest network in Silicon Valley 
which will give you acces to all top tier founder's & game chnaing companies.
