For the founders, operators and executives who know their name is their distribution, and don't have 45 minutes a day to prove it.

How it works

The system that turns expertise into authority.

  1. 01

    Sonar learns you

    It reads your posts, your positioning and your best work, then builds an Intelligence Pack: a document-grounded model of who you are and how you sound.

  2. 02

    It watches your week

    Connect your calendar, meeting notes and Slack. Sonar quietly mines the post-worthy moments, the hard call, the win, the lesson, so you never start cold.

  3. 03

    You post in minutes

    Draft in your voice, refine with one tap, schedule to LinkedIn and X. Then watch what actually moves your audience, and do more of it.

The first three minutes

You arrive at night. You leave in daylight.

  1. Minute 1 · night

    One choice, one link

    Pick your platform, drop your handle. Sonar starts reading while you're still on the page.

  2. Minute 2 · first light

    Sonar reports back

    Your brief drafted, your presence scored, your arena scouted. Fix anything wrong; one button confirms the rest.

  3. Minute 3 · daylight

    Five drafts, day one planned

    An Intelligence Pack, a live watchlist, five posts in your voice. The first one is already scheduled.

The platform

Run your whole presence from one place.

More about voice

Write in your voice.

Sonar builds a voice profile from your real posts, then holds every draft to it. No templates, no clichés, no AI tells.

  • Learned, not imitated

    The Intelligence Pack distills your rhythm, vocabulary, and stance from what you've actually published.

  • One voice, two registers

    LinkedIn posts and X threads come from the same identity, each speaking its platform's native register.

  • It keeps learning

    Every edit you make before posting teaches the profile. The more you ship, the more it sounds like you.

  • An editor, not a chatbot

    Compose remembers your past conversations, makes the editorial call instead of asking, and can save a stated preference as a standing voice rule.

Over the last 13 years, I built teams at two venture-backed startups and a public company.

Each time I noticed the same pattern.

The registers

Not every post wears the same hour.

Work posts are the spine. Around them, Sonar writes in three more registers, each with its own depth and its own light.

  • Deep research · Thursday's piece3 sources
    Industry wage report“median tenure fell 22% in two years”
    Founder survey, n=400“61% regret their first ops hire”
    Your own client data“the pattern held across 9 accounts”

    Research first, then write

    Deep pieces read real sources before a word is drafted. The post ships carrying the receipts.

  • Off the clockSunday

    The strategy call I understood at 200mph: why Ferrari's pit-wall chaos looks exactly like a startup missing its ops hire.

    Off the clock

    Your passions become personal pillars: the human side of the feed, the posts people remember you by.

  • Cross-signalrare

    Pricing-power threadtrending in your niche

    Two of your sources point at one truth. That collision is a post only you can write.

    Cross-signal

    When your own week and your niche collide on the same idea, Sonar fuses them into one golden angle.

Sources

Your week already wrote your posts.

Connect the rooms where your work actually happens. Sonar listens for the moments worth posting, and learns your voice from how you write and how you talk.

Sonar

Google Meet · Calendar · Slack · Teams · Granola · Fathom · Zoom · Notion · Wispr Flow · and every notetaker worth its salt

  • Moments, mined

    The hard call, the win, the lesson. Pulled from meetings and messages as moments, never your raw data.

  • Voice from how you talk

    Your own words in transcripts and channels teach your spoken register. Your published posts stay the anchor.

  • Read-only, one switch

    Every source connects read-only, shows exactly what Sonar read, and disconnects with one switch in Settings.

The co-pilot

Intelligence that earns its name.

Everything Sonar knows about you and your arena, in every conversation.

Ask for the post.

The co-pilot holds your voice, your niche, and your numbers in its head. Ask, and the draft arrives sounding like you.

"Founder lessons" is carrying your month

Your founder-lessons posts earned 3.2x your average across 7 posts, with Tuesday mornings carrying the two biggest. In your niche this week, everyone is posting hiring hot takes, and nobody is showing their scorecard. That post is yours to write. Want the draft?

The Studio

Faces beat text. Yours is one take away.

Video is what feeds reward, and what most founders never ship. The Studio removes every excuse: the script is already written, your branding is already on it. Press record, read, done.

  • The teleprompter

    A recorder with the script scrolling beside your camera, captions burned in with your branding.

  • Reels and wide takes

    Portrait or landscape, framed and tagged with your brand kit. Takes auto-draft their own posts.

  • Scripts on tap

    Five ready-to-say 30-second scripts a week, written from your niche, your calendar, and what you stand for.

A platform, not a prompt box

Everything the habit needs.

  • Borrow their craft

    Rewrite a draft in the technique of a writer you admire, or anyone on your watchlist, in your own voice.

  • Branded visuals

    Turn any post into a quote card or a carousel in your theme. No separate design tool.

  • Grounded, not hallucinated

    Fact-check flags any claim your credibility can't back, so client-facing posts stay safe.

What founders say

Hear it from founders.

  • I stopped dreading LinkedIn. The drafts sound like me on a good day, and I ship in ten minutes instead of an hour.

    Owais Qureshi · B2B SaaS

  • The weekly edition is the first analytics I have ever actually read. It tells me what moved, and what to do about it.

    Sadiq Abbas · B2B services

  • It knows my niche better than I do. The library of winning posts alone is worth it.

Pricing

One price. All of it.
