About

I've spent the last few years working in financial services consulting - a lot of it focused on business development, client strategy, and finding the right people at the right time. That last part is what led me to build ExportFollowers. I kept hitting the same wall: knowing a company's LinkedIn followers were basically a warm audience but having no clean way to actually get that data without stitching together three expensive tools. So we built the simplest version of what we needed - paste a URL, get a CSV. I'm drawn to tools that solve one problem really well without the bloat. Always happy to connect with other builders and marketers who think the same way.

Export Company Followers to CSV - Turn any company's followers into a lead list

Getting a competitor's LinkedIn follower list used to mean stitching together PhantomBuster, Sales Navigator, and a browser extension that broke every other week. We got tired of it. ExportFollowers does one thing cleanly: paste any company page URL and get a CSV of their followers in minutes. No extension, no cookies, no complicated setup. Works for LinkedIn, Instagram, and X. Free to start.

Build your brand before your product, or launch first and reveal yourself later?

  1. I've always been on the personal brand side. More and more founders are building it now (sometimes even before the product is ready while it's still in development, before seed fundraising). The CEO builds their position so the product sells more easily at the official launch.

  2. But I have experience with people who built the product, scaled it, and only then did we discover who was behind it.

Honestly, with the first approach, I'd be concerned that people invest more in me as a person than in the product. People would idealise the founder and overlook the product's flaws (which could hurt development and constructive feedback).

+ I noticed the most common mistake that many people who started building a personal brand first, connected their product to their personal accounts (emails, social media, etc.) and started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles.
