LinkedIn for Builders Who'd Rather Ship Than Post

Vilma Djala helps startup founders turn LinkedIn into a real go-to-market channel. She builds content strategy and ghostwrites for the technical cofounder of a Brussels AI startup, shaping a founder voice that earns trust with researchers, buyers and investors long before any sales call.

Her focus is the less obvious part: knowing which founder speaks to which audience, and turning posts into conversations that lead somewhere.

She also writes The Contrary Mary, a Substack newsletter exploring money, freedom and the experiences of first-generation migrants. Born in Albania, raised in Italy and based in Brussels, she brings a cross-cultural perspective to her work.
