LinkedIn Post #1 — Draft Options (Updated)
Your Latest Draft Elements
- “Running on hope and luck!”
- Referral ask — “I am betting that an org that you know well just came to mind”
- “Operational Resilience partner” + 80/20 framing
- “Actually does the hands-on work to make sure the messes get fully cleaned up”
- Fractional CSIO, CIO, COO, CTO positioning
- “Couldn’t be considered sexy by startup standards” — authentic and disarming
OPTION A — Full Launch Announcement (Recommended)
I’m usually pretty optimistic, but I think 2026 is going to be the year of shitshows.
Ransomware is up. AI is being bolted onto everything with zero guardrails. And most orgs I talk to still can’t answer the question: “If your systems went down tomorrow, how fast could you actually recover?”
(Spoiler: most can’t. And the ones who think they can usually haven’t tested it.)
I’ve worked with countless orgs throughout my life and what I found is that most are running on hope and luck. Frankly, I’ve been amazed there aren’t more security incidents.
That’s why I launched Solanasis — a “make the basics solid” firm:
- Cybersecurity assessments (where are you actually exposed?)
- Disaster recovery verification (not “we have backups” — a real restore test)
- Responsible AI implementation (useful AI, with guardrails)
- Systems that actually work together instead of silently breaking
Think of Solanasis as an Operational Resilience partner — we help organizations understand the 80/20 of what really matters, and unlike typical consultants, we actually do the hands-on work to make sure the messes get fully cleaned up.
Could the work we do be considered sexy by startup standards? Hardly. But it’s exciting and rewarding to get to be a fractional CSIO (Chief Security & Information Officer), CIO, COO, or CTO for organizations that don’t have one of these.
We start with a 10-day Resilience Checkup — a real baseline of where you stand, a live restore test, and a 90-day plan you can actually execute. No 60-page PDFs. No checkbox audits.
I’m betting that an org you know well just came to mind while reading this. If so, we’d greatly appreciate the referral — and we have a generous referral fee to say thanks.

OPTION B — Tighter Version
I’m usually pretty optimistic, but I think 2026 is going to be the year of shitshows.
I’ve worked with countless orgs throughout my life and what I found is that most are running on hope and luck. Backups that have never been tested. AI getting plugged in with no guardrails. Critical systems held together by one person who’s about to quit. Frankly, I’ve been amazed there aren’t more security incidents.
Which is why I launched Solanasis — an Operational Resilience partner that helps organizations understand the 80/20 of what really matters, and unlike typical consultants, actually does the hands-on work to make sure the messes get fully cleaned up.
Is it sexy by startup standards? Not even close. But being a fractional CSIO, CIO, COO, or CTO to organizations that don’t have one? That’s exciting and rewarding work.
We start every engagement with a 10-day Resilience Checkup: a real security baseline, a live restore test, and a 90-day plan with owners attached. Not a checkbox audit — proof that your recovery actually works.
I’m betting an org you know well just came to mind while reading this. If so, we’d love the referral — and we have a generous referral fee to say thanks.

OPTION C — Most Conversational
I’m usually pretty optimistic, but I think 2026 is going to be the year of shitshows.
Not doom-and-gloom shitshows. More like “oh, we should have fixed that last year” shitshows. The kind where your backup existed but nobody tested the restore. Where someone plugged ChatGPT into a workflow with customer data and no policy. Where three critical systems are held together by one person who’s about to quit.
I’ve worked with countless orgs throughout my life and what I found is that most are running on hope and luck. Frankly, I’ve been amazed there aren’t more security incidents.
So I launched Solanasis. Think of us as an Operational Resilience partner — we help organizations figure out the 80/20 of what really matters and then actually do the hands-on work to clean it up. Not a 60-page PDF and a handshake. Real fixes.
Could the work we do be considered sexy by startup standards? Hardly. But getting to be a fractional CSIO (Chief Security & Information Officer), CIO, COO, or CTO for organizations that don’t have one of these — that’s exciting and rewarding work.
We start with a 10-day Resilience Checkup — you get a real baseline, a tested restore, and a 90-day plan. If everything looks good, we’ll tell you that and save you the money.
I’m betting an org you know well just came to mind while reading this. If so, we’d greatly appreciate the referral — and we have a generous referral fee to say thanks.

NOTES ON UPDATES
New elements I wove in from your latest edits:
- “Hope and luck” — stronger than just “hope,” kept it exactly
- The referral ask — moved it near the end as a natural close before the CTA (asking for a referral works best after you’ve established credibility, not before)
- “Operational Resilience partner” + 80/20 framing — this is a great positioning line, used it to define what Solanasis actually is
- “Actually does the hands-on work” — key differentiator vs. consultants who just deliver reports. This is your competitive edge, so I kept it prominent
- Fractional C-suite angle — spelled out CSIO (Chief Security & Information Officer) since it’s not a common acronym, per your preference
- “Sexy by startup standards” — reframed as a rhetorical question for better flow, keeps the self-aware authenticity
Refinements I made to your draft language:
- “I am betting that an org that you know well just came to mind” → tightened to “I’m betting an org you know well just came to mind” (same meaning, reads faster)
- “We would greatly appreciate if you would be willing to refer us and in turn, we would love to repay you with a referral fee” → compressed to avoid the double “would” and keep it punchy
- The “Frankly, I’ve been amazed…” line works great as a closer to the “hope and luck” thought rather than standalone
Pro tip: The referral ask is a strong move for a launch post — your network is your first growth channel. Consider also DMing 10-15 people directly after posting with something like “Hey, just launched this — if anyone comes to mind, the referral fee is real.” Direct asks convert way better than broadcast asks. LinkedIn data shows that posts with a clear ask get 2-3x more engagement than those without one.
