Michael Houck's Linkedin Analytics

I didn't know what a startup was until after college. I wasn't lucky with connections or mentors. But within a few years I'd founded one and raised $15 million from a16z + other investors. Along the way I: · Cold emailed my way into an early role at Uber Eats · Got laid off by Airbnb during COVID · Built an audience of ~100K across LinkedIn and X · Started a coliving residency for startup founders in Tulum · Co-founded a venture fund and made over 50+ early stage investments I'd built up the network and knowledge to make sure I never had to have a "job" again. Now I'm bootstrapping a holdco and sharing what I've learned. In the last year we've launched our first two products: 1) HOUCK'S NEWSLETTER Most people don't know how to build, grow, and raise capital for a startup. So I write a weekly newsletter that shares what I've learned (it's free). It's read by 75,000+ founders each week. → Try it: https://join.houck.news 2) MEGAPHONE Grow your LinkedIn and X accounts faster via instant organic engagement from the most reputable creators in your niche.
