I’ve generated 3M+ views with memes. Here’s my process:

Let’s make some memes for Ground Up, the VC firm I work for.

1. Pick your target audience

Startup founders 👩‍💻

2. Write down pain points

  • Pressure from investors
  • AI gets all the attention
  • Getting customers
  • Must learn quickly
  • Unhelpful VCs
  • Working 24/7
  • Fundraising
  • Recession

3. Find Memes

I recommend r/memes, TikTok, and imgflip.

4. Analyze them

Ask: “What’s the situation?”

Tip: If you’re unsure, use knowyourmeme.com

5. Connect

{Situation} + {Pain point} = Meme

We’ll use “Pressure from investors.”
