Get Social With Graeme
GT&A has built a strong ecosystem over the years. Part of that is due to its founder, Graeme Thickins, being an early adopter of blogging, which began officially with his personal blog in 2005.
He’s developed a powerful network of technology industry players over three decades, including serial founders, VCs, angel investors, analysts, editors and writers, and other influentials. Not to speak of clients! His network of followers and connections numbers more than 20,000 across his various social channels.
He built a solid network early-on in his career -- offline and on -- that he was able to even more formally organize when LinkedIn launched in 2003. That's what he considers the beginning of what we now call "social media" for him. Graeme was #18,843 to join LinkedIn, on August 20, 2003. (In case you haven't noticed, the site now has more than a billion users.) He doesn't need big numbers there -- he just prides himself on a LinkedIn network that currently numbers more than 6200 followers, and a curated, purposely limited 5000+ super-valuable personal connections.
He was also an early proponent of Twitter (especially because of its power and influence in marketing and PR), and he's carefully maintained more than 5600 followers there -- as in real, valuable people. (Graeme on X/Twitter).
He also has an additional 7600+ followers on Flipboard, where he curates several magazines on various tech topics. (Graeme on Flipboard). One magazine alone has more than 230,000 page flips. And, in previous years, he had high ratings on sites that ranked what they called influencers (well before that word was popularized by the rise of Instagram and TikTok - which he purposely avoids).
Graeme partnered with scores of startups for more than two decades as a marketing consultant, helping them launch, grow, and prosper. In more recent years, he's also been an advisor to many more startups, as well as an investor in a select number -- actually, more than 30 to date. Graeme is a member of the Angel Capital Association and an angel group called DiscoveryMN Angels, which launched in 2024 and is now merged with Gopher Angels.
