- It’s a Resume Site, Not a Fundraising Tool
Just because someone has a title doesn’t mean they write checks. LinkedIn tells you where someone says they work—not what they actually invest in. - Data You Can’t Trust
No verification, no context, and plenty of profiles that haven’t been updated since the last bull market. Great for job-hopping, not for capital raising. - People Ghost Their Own Inboxes
Have you ever met an allocator who loves cold LinkedIn messages? Neither have we. InMails are where good outreach goes to die. - Everyone’s “Open to Opportunities”
Sure, but are they allocating to your strategy, in your vehicle, at your ticket size, this quarter? LinkedIn won’t tell you. Octum will. - You’re Playing Guess Who
Is this the right person? Right mandate? Right geography? On LinkedIn, you’re just guessing. That’s not strategy—that’s gambling. - No Signal, Just Noise
Tons of connections, zero prioritization. LinkedIn doesn’t help you target—it helps you scroll. That’s not outreach; that’s procrastination. - It’s Built for Networking, Not Outcomes
Want to post thought leadership? Great. Want to close capital? You need more than likes—you need intel, timing, and precision. - It’s 2025. You Deserve Better Tools
You wouldn’t build a CRM in Excel anymore. So why are you still sourcing allocators from LinkedIn?
Yes, LinkedIn Can Work — But at What Cost?
Sure, there are the occasional success stories. Maybe you land a meeting. Maybe someone bites. But let’s be honest: if you’re raising serious capital, LinkedIn is usually where you end up when nothing else is working.
When you factor in the time spent scrolling, guessing, messaging, and waiting (and waiting…)—the opportunity cost is massive.
It’s not a strategy. It’s a shot in the dark.
Let’s call it what it is:
LinkedIn is where fundraisers go when they’re out of options—not when they’re raising billions.
