Erik Torenberg on Founder

If you’re a up-and-coming VC trying to build a name for yourself I think there’s a big opportunity in niche podcasting. Make the go-to-podcast for healthcare, VR, DTC—pick any topic. It’ll build your network in that space & you’ll be the first person people think of for deals.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Addresses the reader directly, so it reads as written for them.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Speaks directly to you
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, punchy
Written for: Founders and early-stage teams
