Social for dev tools — written in your founder's voice, not your agency's.

Founder-led social on X, LinkedIn, and Hacker News. Threads, POVs, and the occasional Show HN — produced by writers who shadow your founder, not interns running playbooks.

Most agency social for dev tools sounds like an SDR with a thesaurus.

You can spot an agency-managed dev tool account from the first post. Generic engagement-bait hooks. Listicle threads lifted from other people's frameworks. LinkedIn posts that start with "Unpopular opinion:" followed by a popular opinion. Developers scroll past in 0.3 seconds — and worse, they form an opinion about your product based on how lazy your social feels.

The accounts that actually move the needle in dev categories — the ones with real engagement, follower growth, and pipeline — almost always belong to founders or DevRel teams writing in their own voice. They share specific takes. They show works-in-progress. They're wrong sometimes and admit it.

We don't replace that founder voice. We amplify it — by shadowing how you think, writing in your cadence, and producing the volume of content you don't have time to.

Everything you need to scale your founder voice without losing it.

/ 01

Founder voice mapping

We shadow your founder for 2 weeks before writing a single post. Mannerisms, cadence, opinions, stance — captured in a voice doc every writer references.

/ 02

X / Twitter production

Threads, POVs, and product takes in your voice. We post on schedule, you approve, the account grows without sounding agency-puppet.

/ 03

LinkedIn thought-leadership

LinkedIn for B2B reach without the cringe. Threads, carousels, and first-person posts that buyers actually engage with.

/ 04

Show HN launches + timing

Strategic Hacker News launches. We plan the post, the timing, the first-hour comment response — everything that makes Show HN hit or flop.

/ 05

Engagement + community presence

We respond to comments, DMs, and quote-tweets in voice. Following and engaging with the right people in your space.

/ 06

Content repurposing

Every piece gets reused — blog post → X thread → LinkedIn post → Show HN. Compounding output, single source of truth.

How we approach social — shadow first, post later.

  • 01

    Founder voice shadow + audit

    Week 1-2 — We read everything you've written, listen to your podcasts and calls, talk to people who know you. We don't write until we can predict what you'd say.

  • 02

    Voice doc + content strategy

    Week 3 — A documented voice guide and 90-day content strategy. Topics, posting cadence, channel mix, and your no-fly list (topics you won't touch).

  • 03

    Production launch

    Week 4+ — We start producing posts in your voice. You review each before publish until trust is built. Then weekly batch approvals.

  • 04

    Engagement + community presence

    Ongoing — We respond to comments and DMs in voice. Engage with the right accounts in your space. The account feels active, not scheduled.

  • 05

    Quarterly strategy + iteration

    Quarterly — What's working, what's not, what to drop. Strategy adapts to product launches, category trends, and how your audience is shifting.

Honest about who founder-led social actually works for.

Founder-led social compounds, but only if you have a founder or team member willing to be visible and opinionated. Here's how to tell if you're a fit.

// This is for you if
  • You're a founder or DevRel-led team with a distinct point of view
  • You're already active on X/LinkedIn but don't have time to scale it
  • You're comfortable with someone shadowing your communication to map voice
  • You want to grow personal authority alongside the brand account
  • You can review batches of content weekly (~15 min)
// This probably isn't for you if
  • You don't have a founder or team member who wants to be visible
  • You want generic brand-account posting (LinkedIn carousels at scale)
  • You can't dedicate 15-20 min/week to reviewing and approving content
  • You expect viral posts from week one
  • You're not willing to share opinions or be slightly controversial
