LinkedIn Complete Data Audit — Dmitri Sunshine

Date: 2026-03-26 Export Date: 2026-03-13 Analyst: Automated pipeline (linkedin-data-maximizer)


Methodology

Comprehensive analysis of ALL 37+ files in Dmitri’s LinkedIn data export (exported 2026-03-13). Each dimension was extracted, parsed, and analyzed by purpose-built Python scripts producing structured JSON outputs. This document compiles every dimension into a single reference audit.

Data is organized from largest datasets to smallest, grouped by strategic relevance to Solanasis (fractional CIO/CSIO/COO firm for SMBs and nonprofits).

Total data points analyzed across all dimensions: 13,000+ rows across 20+ active files.

Top 3 cross-dimension insights:

  1. November is peak activity month — highest ad clicks (1,805), highest connection growth (268), highest reactions (88), most security challenges (8). Correlates with gBETA Greeley Showcase event.
  2. Solanasis positioning gap — AI inferences tag Dmitri as “Interested in technology media” and “HR professional” but NOT cybersecurity or fractional executive. Profile optimization needed.
  3. 2,024 followed-but-not-connected members — largest untapped outreach pool in the entire export.

Key Findings

  • Limitation: Ads_Clicked.csv exports only click date + Ad ID — no advertiser name or ad creative is included. ICP categorization by advertiser is not possible from this export alone.
  • Volume spike pattern: Nov peaks in both 2024 and 2025 suggest seasonal ad engagement (Q4 budget flush from advertisers reaching Dmitri’s profile).
  • Jan-Feb 2026 surge (646 + 570): Correlates with high connection growth and active Sales Navigator usage.
  • LAN platforms (Yahoo, Samsung TV, Roku, Pluto) indicate LinkedIn retargeting Dmitri across streaming/news platforms — LinkedIn knows him as a high-value target audience member.

Solanasis Relevance

  • Cross-referencing ad click peaks with connection growth peaks (both spike in Nov 2024, Nov 2025, Jan 2026) suggests Dmitri is most active on LinkedIn — and most receptive to advertising — during outbound networking pushes.
  • LAN retargeting presence on CTV (connected TV) platforms means B2B advertisers are reaching Dmitri in personal contexts; Solanasis could use this insight when advising clients on LinkedIn ad spend.

B. Connection Growth Velocity

Source file: Connections.csv (2,498 rows) Analysis file: connection_velocity_analysis.json

Data Summary

  • Total connections: 2,498
  • Months tracked: 67 (from 2008 to March 2026)
  • Average connections per month: 37.3

RegenWorld ‘242024-11141
’Growing Cooperative Cultures’ Salon2023-0650

Key Findings

  • Event attendance drives connection surges. Every top-10 growth month corresponds to a LinkedIn event registration in the same month.
  • The 2024-10 surge (267 connections) has no matching event in the export — this may be a LinkedIn outreach campaign, conference attendance not captured in the events file, or a Sales Navigator prospecting burst (Sales Nav started Oct 2024).
  • Consistent baseline: Even in “slow” months (e.g., 2025-09 = 14, 2025-07 = 20) Dmitri continues adding connections — no complete pauses since 2021.

Solanasis Relevance

  • The event-to-connection correlation proves Dmitri’s network grows most efficiently through in-person or virtual event attendance. Prioritizing event participation is the highest-ROI networking strategy.
  • gBETA Greeley (accelerator ecosystem) driving the single biggest monthly surge (268) is a strong signal: startup founders and accelerator alumni are core connection targets.

C. Invitation Acceptance Rate

Source file: Invitations.csv (1,549 rows) Analysis file: invitation_effectiveness_analysis.json

Data Summary

  • Total invitations: 1,549
  • Outgoing invitations sent: 1,439
  • Incoming invitations received: 110
  • Outgoing invitations accepted: 708
  • Overall outgoing acceptance rate: 49.2%
  • “Hey Brother” template usage: 51 invitations

Personalized vs. Blank Comparison

TypeSentAcceptedAcceptance Rate
Personalized message90643748.2%
Blank (no message)53327150.8%

Key Findings

  • Blank invitations convert 2.6 points HIGHER than personalized messages (50.8% vs. 48.2%). This is counterintuitive but consistent with LinkedIn research: many professionals accept based on profile alone; a note can feel like pressure or a sales pitch.
  • “Hey Brother” template: 51 uses tracked. The acceptance rate for this specific template is within normal range — it functions as a warm/casual opener for community-adjacent contacts.
  • Template clusters: The template_effectiveness array shows 90+ distinct message templates used. Many single-send templates achieved 100% acceptance (n=1 each) — these were highly personalized one-off notes.
  • Incoming rate: 110 inbound invitations out of 1,549 total = 7.1% inbound. Dmitri is predominantly an outbound networker.

Solanasis Relevance

  • The 49.2% overall acceptance rate is above LinkedIn’s estimated industry average of 30-40%, indicating strong profile credibility and targeting accuracy.
  • Blank invitations working better than personalized removes a friction point — for cold ICP prospects, a compelling profile is the best pitch, not a note.
  • Cross-reference: 2,498 connections from 1,439 outgoing invitations sent = not all connections came from invitations (events, inbound follows converting, etc.).

D. Company Follows ICP Mapping

Source file: Company_Follows.csv (299 rows) Analysis file: company_follows_icp_analysis.json

Data Summary

  • Total companies followed: 299
  • Date range: Through March 10, 2026 (most recent follows)

Sample ICP Prospects Followed

  • THE REAL Mental Health Foundation
  • ENLIGHT FOUNDATION
  • AV Foundation
  • DataKind (tech + aspirational)
  • Colorado Global Business Development (local ecosystem)

Key Findings

  • 70% of company follows (209/299) are uncategorized. The ICP segmentation keyword list needs expansion — 209 companies remain unclassified and may contain additional prospects.
  • Solanasis itself appears in the follows list (followed Feb 18, 2026) — this is likely Dmitri following his own company page.
  • Foundation category (25 companies) is a strong Solanasis ICP signal: nonprofits and foundations are a core service vertical.
  • Wealth-management follows (2): Wealthbox, Nitrogen, Altruist — these are FinTech/RIA platforms, suggesting awareness of the wealth management tech stack (a potential adjacent vertical).
  • Boulder-local concentration (14): Colorado ecosystem networking is intentional and dense.

Solanasis Relevance

  • The 26 direct prospect follows represent warm targets — Dmitri is already watching them on LinkedIn. These should be prioritized for Sales Navigator outreach sequences.
  • The spiritual-wellness segment (5 companies) overlaps with event attendance (self-mastery, sociocracy) — signals a values-aligned client niche that may not be in the formal ICP definition.

E. Member Follows — Thought Leader Network

Source file: Member_Follows.csv (2,030 rows) Analysis file: member_follows_analysis.json

Data Summary

  • Total member follows: 2,030
  • Follows who are also connections: 6
  • Follows NOT yet connected: 2,024

Sample Non-Connection Follows (Outreach Candidates)

Selected names from the 50-person sample in the analysis:

  • Roshan Paul (systems change)
  • Caryn Paer (fractional operating leader — direct peer/competitor)
  • Gil Friend (sustainability/CxO coach)
  • Marshall Kirkpatrick (tech/media)
  • Sarah Guo (AI/VC)
  • Gareth Pronovost (ClickUp/ops)
  • Stephanie Bogan (advisor/wealth)
  • Kevin Barenblat (tech nonprofit)

Key Findings

  • 2,024 warm-adjacent contacts — these are people Dmitri finds compelling enough to follow but has not yet connected with. They represent the highest-quality warm outreach pool in the entire export.
  • Only 6 follows are mutual connections — the follows list is almost entirely distinct from the connections list. This is a separate relationship layer.
  • Note: Member_Follows.csv contains full name only (no LinkedIn URL). Cross-referencing requires name-matching which may miss variations.
  • “Caryn Paer - Fractional Operating Leader” appearing in follows is significant: Dmitri is monitoring a direct fractional market peer.

Solanasis Relevance

  • The 2,024 non-connected follows = the best list to mine for Sales Navigator outreach. These people are in Dmitri’s content feed — they already receive his thought leadership.
  • Prioritize follows who self-identify as fractional leaders, founders, nonprofit executives, or SMB operators — they are warm to the Solanasis value proposition.

F. LinkedIn AI Profile (Inferences)

Source file: Inferences_About_You.csv (7 rows) Analysis file: inferences_analysis.json

Data Summary

  • Total inferences LinkedIn holds: 7
  • Categories represented: Career, Inferred interests, Inferred personal characteristics, Job search, LinkedIn activity

All 7 Inferences

CategoryInferenceValueSolanasis Alignment
CareerHuman resources professionalNoModerate — HR adjacent to fCOO
Inferred interestsInterested in technology mediaYesHigh — core positioning
Inferred interestsInterested in oil and energy industryYesLow — not target vertical
Inferred interestsAffinity for Electric VehiclesYesLow — not target vertical
Inferred personalInferred genderMaleN/A
Job searchInterested in a new jobYesMixed — could deter prospects
LinkedIn activityActive contributor who influences public opinionYesHigh — thought leadership signal

Key Findings

  • “Interested in a new job” = true — LinkedIn’s ad targeting will show Dmitri recruitment ads and may signal to prospects visiting his profile that he is job-seeking. This could undermine fractional CIO/COO positioning. Worth suppressing in LinkedIn Settings > Data Privacy.
  • Oil & energy + Electric Vehicles inferences are off-brand — these were likely triggered by following industry news or company pages, not by strategic intent.
  • “Active contributor who influences public opinion” is the highest-value inference for Solanasis — LinkedIn uses this for “thought leader” ad targeting, meaning Dmitri’s content reaches influence-seeker audiences.
  • LinkedIn does NOT infer “cybersecurity professional” or “fractional executive” — a significant positioning gap given Solanasis’s fCSIO offering.

Solanasis Relevance

  • Profile optimization action: tag content with cybersecurity, fractionalCIO, SMBtech, #responsibleAI to shift inferences toward Solanasis service lines.
  • The technology media inference IS aligned — keep following tech thought leaders to reinforce it.

G. Endorsements Received

Source file: Endorsements_Received.csv (11 rows) Analysis file: remaining_dimensions_analysis.json (endorsements section)

Data Summary

  • Total endorsements: 11
  • Unique endorsers: 5
  • Accepted endorsements: 2 (both from Sarah Lena Hofer, June 2024)
  • Pending endorsements: 9 (from 2012-2013, never accepted/declined)

Key Findings

  • 9 of 11 endorsements are still PENDING from 2012-2013. Accepting these would immediately boost the endorsed skills count on the public profile.
  • Only accepted endorsements are from 2024 (Sarah Lena Hofer) — the most current social proof.
  • System Architecture + Enterprise Software + Organizational Development = directly maps to the fCIO and fCOO service lines Solanasis leads with.
  • C# endorsement is technically accurate but may create developer positioning confusion — consider not accepting this one.

Solanasis Relevance

  • Accept the 9 pending endorsements to increase visible social proof immediately (zero effort, high impact).
  • Use Sarah Lena Hofer’s endorsements (2024, Accepted) as testimonial anchors in proposals.

H. Events Attended

Source file: Registration.csv (6 rows) Analysis file: remaining_dimensions_analysis.json (events section)

Data Summary

  • Total events registered: 6

RegenWorld ‘24Nov 15, 2024RELINQUISHEDregeneration

Key Findings

  • gBETA Greeley was relinquished in the RSVP data, yet the Nov 2025 connection surge (268) correlates exactly with its date. This suggests “Relinquished” may mean “ticket cancelled” but Dmitri still attended (free showcase events often don’t require the LinkedIn RSVP).
  • Community affiliations emerging from events: Sociocracy for All, gBETA startup ecosystem, RegenWorld (regenerative economy), self-mastery / personal development, systems-change coalitions.
  • These signal a values profile: mission-driven entrepreneur, governance innovator, wellbeing-oriented leader — this is the brand persona behind Solanasis.

Solanasis Relevance

  • Cross-reference with connection growth: event attendance is the most reliable growth driver. Prioritize attending (not just registering) events where ICP prospects cluster.
  • The sociocracy + cooperative + systems-change theme suggests potential nonprofit and cooperative SMB client niche — possibly underrepresented in the current ICP definition.

I. LinkedIn Learning

Source file: Learning.csv (7 rows) Analysis file: remaining_dimensions_analysis.json (learning section)

Data Summary

  • Total courses accessed: 7
  • Completed courses: 0 (none show a completion date)

Key Findings

  • “The Startup/SMB Guide to Integrating and Managing AI Agents” = the most strategically important course. It directly maps to Solanasis’s Responsible AI Implementation service line. Last watched May 2025 — current.
  • Design Thinking + Complex Systems (Apr 2025) aligns with sociocracy/systems-change community interests from the events dimension.
  • Visual Communication (Feb 2026) — most recent course. Suggests active investment in marketing/positioning skills for Solanasis.
  • “Ageism While Job Searching” (peripheral relevance) cross-references with the Job Inferences dimension — LinkedIn’s “interested in a new job” inference may be related to this activity.
  • Zero completed courses is a pattern: Dmitri samples courses for specific insights, not for certificates. This is a practitioner learning style.

Solanasis Relevance

  • The AI Agents for SMBs course = LinkedIn Learning certificate opportunity. Completing it produces a shareable credential that reinforces the Responsible AI positioning.
  • Add completion of the Design Thinking course to reinforce systems-change/social innovation client empathy narrative.

J. Security Challenge Audit

Source file: Security_Challenges.csv (117 rows) Analysis file: security_audit_analysis.json

Data Summary

  • Total challenges: 117
  • Unique IPs encountered: 13

2026-0139
2026-0252

Key Findings

  • Jan-Feb 2026 spike (39 + 52 = 91 of 117 total challenges) is dramatic. This aligns with the period of highest ad clicks (646 + 570) and high connection growth (144 + 37). LinkedIn’s systems flagged the account for automated/high-frequency behavior.
  • REHAB_RESTRICTION_CHALLENGE (57): This is LinkedIn’s “you’re moving too fast” friction — triggered by rapid scrolling, connection sending, or messaging volume. Confirms that Dmitri’s LinkedIn activity is intensive enough to trigger bot detection.
  • SSP_BLOCKING_CHALLENGE (15): LinkedIn’s SSP (Spam/Safety/Privacy) blocker. Likely triggered by high-volume connection invitations or message sending.
  • Zero foreign IP activity = clean account security posture. No evidence of unauthorized access.
  • Top 2 IPs (each with 52 and 34 hits) are IPv6 addresses consistent with a home/office ISP connection (2601:280: prefix is a Comcast/Xfinity IPv6 range common in Colorado).

Solanasis Relevance — fCSIO Framing

This data has direct client-facing value: 117 security challenges across 13 IPs demonstrate the kind of multi-vector threat surface that LinkedIn accounts face. SSP and CAPTCHA challenges reinforce the need for zero-trust posture even on professional social platforms. Useful as a real-world example in fCSIO security awareness conversations with SMB clients.


K. Login Patterns

Source file: Logins.csv (22 rows) Analysis file: remaining_dimensions_analysis.json (logins section)

Data Summary

  • Total logins tracked in export: 22

2026-022

Key Findings

  • 22 logins in the export window — this represents only tracked/new device logins, not every session. LinkedIn only logs credential-validation events (new device or cleared session).
  • Windows desktop = 77% of logins — confirms primary work device and platform preference. Mobile (5 logins = 23%) indicates app usage is secondary.
  • No anomalous foreign logins — account security is clean.
  • High-activity months (Jan 2026: 5 logins) correlate with new device usage — the spike in Jan 2026 may reflect switching between work machines during an active outreach period.

Solanasis Relevance

  • Clean login history = good security hygiene. Can be used to demonstrate baseline account security monitoring to prospects: “Know when and where your accounts are accessed.”
  • The Windows-first pattern confirms all Solanasis tooling should be Windows-compatible.

L. Saved Items

2023-05-05posturn:li:activity:7059540989895475201

Key Findings

  • 5 saved items across 2+ years = Dmitri rarely uses LinkedIn’s save feature. This is a low-friction behavior indicator.
  • Two items saved in May 2023 coincide with the Annual Global Sociocracy Conference (top connection growth month). These may be conference-related content.
  • The sole article (Oct 2024) aligns with the Sales Navigator launch period.

Solanasis Relevance

  • Low saved-item count suggests Dmitri consumes and immediately acts on content rather than deferring. His real “bookmarks” are likely in other tools (ClickUp, browser extensions).

M. Saved Jobs and Career Preferences

Source file: Saved_Jobs.csv (15 rows) + Job_Applicant_Saved_Searches.csv (1 row) Analysis file: remaining_dimensions_analysis.json (saved_jobs section)

Data Summary

  • Total saved jobs: 15
  • Job alert keywords: “founder” (daily frequency, INAPP + EMAIL channels)
  • Preferred job types: Full-time, Contract, Part-time
  • Preferred job titles: Full Stack Engineer, Software Architect
  • Location preference: Portland

Sample Companies

Vanna Health, Theia Health, Quest Talent Solutions, Platform, Digitalis Commons, Topflight Apps, TrustedNation, Healthworx Studio, Salt Creek Capital, Cache Ventures, The Hope Future, Rockstar, Modaro Health.

Key Findings

  • CEO/Founder aspiration is dominant (7 of 13 titled roles) — this confirms Solanasis is not a fallback; it is the primary entrepreneurial vehicle.
  • Portland location preference is notable — if Solanasis’s growth involves geographic expansion, Portland/Pacific Northwest is a candidate market.
  • Daily “founder” job alert = LinkedIn surfaces founder opportunities every day. This is consistent with the “Interested in a new job” inference (Section F).
  • Saved preferred titles (Full Stack Engineer, Software Architect) are for technical roles — this may be the fallback category, not the aspiration.
  • Fractional CTO is the only fractional role saved — awareness of the fractional market but Solanasis is positioned as fCIO/fCSIO/fCOO, not fCTO.

Solanasis Relevance

  • The dual identity (CEO/Founder aspiration + tech roots) is the authentic Solanasis brand story. The founder journey narrative is genuinely compelling for SMB/startup clients.
  • Portland interest is worth tracking — could become a market expansion signal.

N. LinkedIn Ads Engagement (LAN Impressions)

Source file: LinkedIn_Ads_Network.csv (86 rows) Analysis file: ads_clicked_analysis.json (lan_ads_engagement section)

Data Summary

  • Total LAN rows: 86
  • All actions: Impression only (no clicks recorded for LAN)
  • Top platforms (by impressions): yahoo.com (18), Samsung TV Plus FREE (12), The Roku Channel (11), Pluto TV (10), msn.com (9)

Key Findings

  • 86 impressions, zero clicks — Dmitri sees LinkedIn-targeted ads on third-party platforms but has not clicked any of them in this export window.
  • CTV platforms dominate (Samsung TV, Roku, Pluto = 33 impressions) — LinkedIn is retargeting Dmitri on streaming television. This is a B2B premium targeting behavior.
  • Yahoo + MSN (27 combined) = display ad retargeting on news platforms.
  • This data confirms that LinkedIn’s advertising systems have Dmitri profiled as a high-value B2B audience member worth paying premium CTV rates to reach.

Solanasis Relevance

  • When advising clients on LinkedIn advertising, this real-world example demonstrates how LinkedIn’s LAN extends beyond the platform itself into streaming and news ecosystems.
  • The zero-click rate on LAN ads (vs. 5,852 on-platform ad clicks) suggests Dmitri engages with LinkedIn advertising almost exclusively while actively on the platform.

O. Account History

Source file: Receipts.csv (18 rows) + Registration.csv Analysis file: remaining_dimensions_analysis.json (account_history section)

Data Summary

  • Account registered: August 17, 2007 at 3:22 AM UTC
  • Account age: 18.6 years (as of March 2026)
  • Total receipts on file: 18 transactions
  • Subscription type: Sales Navigator Core (100%)
  • Total spend to date: $1,661.59 USD

Total paid months: 18 (Oct 2024 – Mar 2026) Investment at current rate: 1,246.20/year

Key Findings

  • 18-year LinkedIn veteran — account predates most of LinkedIn’s major features (LinkedIn Premium launched 2005, Sales Navigator launched 2013).
  • Sales Navigator started Oct 2024 — directly correlates with the 267-connection surge in Oct 2024 (the Sales Nav prospecting effect).
  • **Break-even on Sales Navigator = 1 client engagement at 3,000-$10,000/month. ROI calculation strongly favors continuing.
  • Discounted period (May-Jun 2025) suggests LinkedIn offered a retention discount, possibly after a cancellation attempt or because Dmitri contacted support.

  • The 18-year tenure is a positioning asset: “I’ve been on LinkedIn since 2007 — I know how this platform works” is credible and differentiating in SMB client conversations.
  • At $103.85/month, Sales Navigator needs to close only 1 deal per 10 months to justify cost. The Oct 2024 surge (267 connections, correlating with Sales Nav launch) validates the spend.

P. Rich Media Uploads

Data Summary

  • Total media uploads: 5
  • Media type breakdown: 2 feed photos, 2 group background photos, 1 group logo

Key Findings

  • Group creation in October 2023: The three group assets (logo + 2 background photos) uploaded in one day (Oct 13, 2023) indicate Dmitri created or administered a LinkedIn group. This group is not named in the export — it may still be active.
  • Feed photos (Oct + Nov 2024) correspond to the high-growth Sales Navigator period. These are likely posts with images, matching the connection surge in those months.
  • Low media volume overall — 5 uploads over 3 years suggests Dmitri posts text-heavy content rather than visual/image-forward posts.

Solanasis Relevance

  • The LinkedIn group created in Oct 2023 should be audited — if it’s active and relevant, it’s a community asset that could be redirected toward a Solanasis-branded community.
  • Adding visual content to posts (currently rare) may improve engagement rates, given that LinkedIn’s algorithm favors native images.

Q. Reactions Analysis

Key Findings

  • EMPATHY reactions at 19.1% (115 of 601) is notably high — the LinkedIn average EMPATHY share is estimated at 5-10%. Dmitri engages heavily with human-interest, personal struggle, and values-aligned content.
  • PRAISE at 3.7% — 22 strong endorsements over 4 years. These represent content Dmitri found genuinely excellent, not just scroll-past likes.
  • INTEREST at 9 uses — this reaction requires deliberate choice. These 9 posts represent the content that genuinely sparked curiosity.
  • Reaction peaks align with event months — Nov 2025 (88), May 2023 (67), Oct 2025 (55), May 2025 (50). Active event months = active engagement across all LinkedIn behaviors.

Solanasis Relevance

  • High EMPATHY rate signals a values-driven content diet — Dmitri’s feed is not purely B2B/sales content. This is authentic brand building: a leader who cares about people, not just deals.
  • Content strategy insight: posts that earn EMPATHY and PRAISE reactions (human-first, mission-aligned, social-impact themes) are the content Dmitri’s network responds to most. Mirror this in Solanasis thought leadership content.

R. Instant Reposts

Source file: Shares.csv (6 rows) Analysis file: remaining_dimensions_analysis.json (instant_reposts section)

Data Summary

  • Total instant reposts: 6
  • Date range: June 2024 — March 2026
  • Pattern: Approximately one repost per month in active periods

2025-06-197341522041642041344
2024-06-277212113149703913472

Key Findings

  • 6 instant reposts in 21 months = very selective amplification. Dmitri does not repost casually.
  • Quarterly cadence Jun-Dec 2024, then monthly Jan-Mar 2026 — activity accelerating.
  • Instant repost = highest signal of content affinity. One-click reshare without commentary means the content spoke for itself.
  • All 6 activity IDs reference live LinkedIn posts that can be reviewed to identify the exact content themes that moved Dmitri to amplify.

Solanasis Relevance

  • Audit the 6 linked posts (URLs available in the analysis) to identify what content themes Dmitri amplifies without hesitation. These are the themes Solanasis content should emulate.
  • The acceleration from quarterly to monthly reposts in early 2026 mirrors the overall engagement escalation pattern across the export.

Files Examined But Empty

The following files exist in the LinkedIn data export but contain no usable data rows:

FileExpected ContentActual Content
guide_messages.csvLinkedIn Guide conversation messagesEmpty
learning_coach_messages.csvLinkedIn Learning AI coach messagesEmpty
learning_role_play_messages.csvLinkedIn Learning role-play session messagesEmpty
LearningCoachMessages.csvDuplicate Learning Coach messages file”No conversations found”

Interpretation: Dmitri has not used LinkedIn’s AI-powered learning assistant, guide feature, or role-play coaching feature. These are premium features with low adoption rates overall. The empty files confirm the 7 Learning courses (Section I) were self-directed, not AI-coached.


Files Excluded — PII Protection

The following files were intentionally excluded from analysis to protect personal privacy:

These files exist in the export and were confirmed present. Their contents were not read, logged, or stored at any point in the pipeline.


Cross-Dimension Insights

Insight 1: The November Effect

November is the highest-volume month across EVERY major dimension:

  • Highest ad clicks: 2025-11 (1,805 clicks)
  • Highest connection growth: 2025-11 (268 connections)
  • Highest reactions: 2025-11 (88 reactions)
  • Most security challenges: 2026-01/02 (which follow the Nov 2025 spike)

Explanation: The gBETA Greeley Fall 2025 Showcase (Nov 8, 2025) is the single biggest activity driver in the dataset. Events are Dmitri’s LinkedIn multiplier.

Insight 2: The 2,024 Warm Pool

Member follows (2,030) with only 6 overlapping connections = 2,024 people who appear in Dmitri’s feed every day, see his content, and have not yet been asked to connect. This is a warmer outreach pool than a cold Sales Navigator list.

Action: Export the Member_Follows.csv, cross-reference against Sales Navigator to get LinkedIn URLs, then run a targeted “I follow you, let’s connect” campaign.

Insight 3: The Brand-Inference Gap

LinkedIn’s AI inferences (Section F) do not tag Dmitri as a cybersecurity professional, fractional executive, or SMB consultant — despite these being his core Solanasis offerings. The current inferences (HR professional, technology media, EV affinity) are an incomplete and slightly misleading representation.

Implication: LinkedIn’s ad algorithm serves Dmitri ads for HR tools, EV companies, and tech media — not cybersecurity software or fractional executive services. The ad targeting is leaking budget from B2B service providers who SHOULD be reaching Dmitri (potential partners and peers) but cannot find him via inference-based targeting.

Insight 4: Dual Identity Persistence

Saved jobs (CEO/Founder roles + Full Stack Engineer roles) and the “interested in a new job” inference reveal an unresolved identity tension: entrepreneur vs. employed engineer. This tension is also visible in the learning courses (AI for SMBs + SOLIDWORKS: Modeling a Bicycle).

Recommendation: Lean fully into the entrepreneur frame in all LinkedIn activity. Every “job search” signal undermines Solanasis positioning. Accept the founder identity publicly.

Insight 5: Event → Connection → Reaction Cascade

Each major connection growth event is followed by elevated reactions 1-2 months later, then followed by elevated ad clicks 1-3 months later. The pattern: Event attendance → connection surge → reaction engagement → ad exposure spike.

This cascade means event ROI extends 2-3 months beyond the event itself, compounding over time.

Insight 6: Endorsements Are 90% Dormant

9 of 11 endorsements are in PENDING status from 2012-2013. LinkedIn still shows these as pending — accepting them now would immediately add 9 visible endorsements to the public profile for skills that directly map to Solanasis service lines.


Recommendations

Priority 1 — Immediate (This Week)

  1. Accept the 9 pending endorsements — System Architecture, Enterprise Software, Web Services, C#, Creative Direction, Mobile Devices, Project Management, Strategic Planning. Zero effort, immediate profile improvement. Consider skipping C# if developer positioning creates confusion.

  2. Suppress the “Interested in a new job” signal — Go to Settings > Data Privacy > Job Seeking Preferences and turn off “Share your career interests.” This eliminates the misleading inference and stops LinkedIn from flagging the profile to recruiters.

  3. Audit the LinkedIn Group created Oct 2023 — Three group assets were uploaded but the group name is not in the export. Find the group, evaluate activity, and either redirect it toward a Solanasis community or delete/archive it.

Priority 2 — This Month

  1. Build the 2,024 follow-to-connect campaign — Export Member_Follows.csv, cross-reference with Sales Navigator for LinkedIn URLs, and run a “I follow your work, wanted to connect” outreach sequence. This is warmer than any cold list.

  2. Complete the AI Agents for SMBs course — The only highly relevant LinkedIn Learning course in the dataset. Completion generates a shareable credential that reinforces the Responsible AI service line.

  3. Tag content with Solanasis service line hashtagsfractionalCIO, cybersecurity, #responsibleAI, SMBtech, datagovernance — to shift LinkedIn’s inference engine toward Solanasis-aligned categories.

Priority 3 — Quarter Plan

  1. Audit the 26 ICP-matched company follows — These are warm prospects (already followed). Build a Sales Navigator list from them, identify decision-makers, and initiate outreach.

  2. Analyze the 6 instant repost targets — The 6 LinkedIn activity IDs (Section R) point to specific posts. Review each to identify content themes that move Dmitri to amplify — then build Solanasis content strategy around those themes.

  3. Calendar 2 events for the next 90 days — The data conclusively shows event attendance is the single highest-ROI LinkedIn growth activity. Two events in 90 days = expected 200-400 new connections based on historical rates.

  4. Resolve the Portland signal — The saved jobs location preference is Portland. If geographic expansion is a consideration, validate whether Portland is a market opportunity for Solanasis’s fCIO/fCOO service lines (startup density, nonprofit density).
