Why this topic matters

1.2 million human beings were laid off in 2025 alone. Cold applications have completely stopped working. And there's more candidates than ever competing for fewer & fewer jobs. That's why a strong presence and network on LinkedIn are the most valuable career assets you can invest in. Because being great at your job means nothing if the only people who know are in your company's Slack channel.

Mo Akif

I run Guild95, a private community of tech workers building a LinkedIn presence.

I built my LinkedIn presence as career insurance, then got laid off and had 3 inbound offers from VC-backed startups before sending a single application. Now at Guild95, I help tech workers & execs do the same thing so they can attract more job interviews (at places like Lovable & Notion), more industry friends, and higher-paying roles.
