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 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 (incl. Figure and Beehiiv) More recently I've bootstrapped my personal holdco from $0 to $100K MRR in under 2 years. We help founders through content, connections, capital, and services: · megaphonestudio.com → let my content agency build your newsletter or social media audience · megaphone.network → partner with big creators in your niche · join.foundingjourney.com → get my weekly playbooks and advice alongside 75k founders (for free) · upgrade.foundingjourney.com → get ~100 fundraising case studies from founders I interviewed · go.foundingjourney.com/fundraising → get connected with investors (including me) I'm also building a new YouTube channel.
