A build-in-public post opening
We lost a cluster of trial users last month at the same step: importing stock from Excel. So we stopped building features for two weeks and fixed one import screen. Here is what changed.
LinkedIn personal branding
We turn a weekly call with the founder into five posts from their own profile: what shipped this week, a customer conversation, a number you are willing to share, a mistake and what changed because of it. Posts are written in your voice, approved before publishing, and timed so the funding conversation finds a story already public.
On the Growth package, PKR 35,000 per month. Ad spend, if you run ads, is separate.
Why it fits
Pakistan's tech circle, founders, operators, angels, incubator mentors and the developers you want to hire, reads LinkedIn daily, and a good build-in-public post gets passed into founder WhatsApp groups within hours. Startups are always a few months from a funding conversation, and investors notice who has been shipping visibly. It is also cheap distribution before you can afford ads: a finance manager who has watched you solve real problems for months arrives at the demo half-decided. The obstacle is time; founders rarely write consistently.
The work
Examples
Illustrative starting points, not results. The audit decides the real first move.

Weekly rhythm
Monday: what shipped · Tuesday: a customer's problem in their words · Wednesday: a hiring or team note · Thursday: a lesson or mistake · Friday: a view on selling to Pakistani SMEs
For most B2B and SME-focused startups, yes. Pakistan's founders, investors, operators and engineers read LinkedIn closely, and steady posts about shipping and customers build trust before you need it. Share only what you are comfortable having public; honesty about problems usually earns more credibility than polished announcements.
Post what you are learning from customers, what shipped and why, mistakes and their fixes, and honest observations about selling software to Pakistani businesses. Specific stories from Islamabad, Lahore or Karachi customers, shared with permission, outperform general startup advice readers have seen many times.
Pitfalls
Price
The Growth package covers ghost-written posts for one personal profile, the monthly strategy call and comment replies; a second person's profile, such as a co-founder's, is quoted separately.
Growth
PKR 35,000per month
A YouTube channel or business page that is posting but not growing.
These are the questions we get on WhatsApp every week, answered the way we would answer them there.
WhatsApp usMostly. The founder's profile carries the most reach and trust. A co-founder or CTO can be added, with posts about engineering and hiring, if they are willing to join the weekly call.
LinkedIn personal branding sits under the Growth package. Startups already on Pro can fold it into a wider plan alongside paid ads, landing pages and other platforms.
