5 Ways ChatGPT Is Redefining LinkedIn Networking For Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneur building LinkedIn network According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2023-2024 report, 24% of young entrepreneurs are actively engaged in starting or running businesses, yet many struggle with time management while balancing growth activities on LinkedIn and other platforms. Teen and young adult entrepreneurs face additional challenges, including building credibility while competing against more established professionals on LinkedIn. LinkedIn has become essential for business development, but traditional LinkedIn networking approaches consume hours without guaranteed returns. This time crunch hits younger entrepreneurs particularly hard as they juggle business building with school, family commitments, and limited resources. Young entrepreneurs face a choice: spend significant time crafting individual LinkedIn messages and content or risk appearing generic in a crowded LinkedIn marketplace. ChatGPT offers entrepreneurs of all ages a middle path—maintaining personalization while scaling LinkedIn networking efforts efficiently. For younger business owners, AI tools level the playing field by helping them create professional content and outreach that competes with seasoned entrepreneurs. Here's how smart business owners are using AI to build meaningful professional relationships on LinkedIn. Writing individual connection requests and follow-up messages can consume several hours each week. Most entrepreneurs either send generic messages or spend too much time personalizing each one. ChatGPT helps you find the middle ground. Use this prompt: "I want to connect with [specific role/industry] professionals on LinkedIn. Help me create a connection message template that I can customize with specific details about each person. The message should be professional, specific, and under 200 characters." For LinkedIn follow-up messages, try: "I recently connected with someone on LinkedIn who [specific background detail] The key is using ChatGPT for structure while adding personal details about each LinkedIn contact. A message that mentions their recent article or company milestone performs far better than AI-generated content alone. Most entrepreneur profiles read like resumes rather than marketing tools. They list past jobs instead of showcasing current value and future potential. ChatGPT can help reframe your LinkedIn profile around client needs. Use this prompt: "I'm an entrepreneur in [industry] who helps [target client] achieve [specific outcome]. Help me write a LinkedIn headline and summary that attracts potential clients, partners, and investors. Focus on results I deliver rather than credentials I have." Your LinkedIn headline should answer this question: "What problem do you solve for whom?" Instead of "Startup Founder," try "Helping Restaurants Increase Revenue 30% Through Data-Driven Marketing | SaaS Entrepreneur | Foodtech Innovator." Young entrepreneurs can add credibility by highlighting specific results rather than relying solely on years of experience. For your LinkedIn summary, lead with client outcomes, include a brief origin story, and end with a clear call to action. It's all about developing and sharing your personal brand. Teen entrepreneurs should focus on passion, problem-solving abilities, and early wins rather than traditional credentials. People connect with entrepreneurs who can help them, regardless of age. Consistent posting on LinkedIn helps build visibility, but many entrepreneurs struggle with creating engaging content. They either share random thoughts or spend hours crafting posts that few people engage with. ChatGPT can generate LinkedIn content ideas aligned with your business goals. Try this prompt: "I'm building a [type of business] and want to attract [specific audience] on LinkedIn. Generate 10 post ideas that position me as an expert while providing value to potential clients. Include questions that encourage engagement." The most effective LinkedIn content for entrepreneurs combines industry insights with personal experiences. Share lessons from specific client projects, predictions based on your expertise, or frameworks you've developed. People follow entrepreneurs who offer practical wisdom, not generic business advice. Post consistently on LinkedIn rather than perfectly. Two valuable posts a week are better than one brilliant post quarterly. Random networking wastes time. Successful entrepreneurs connect strategically on LinkedIn with potential clients, partners, investors, and mentors who align with their business goals. ChatGPT can help you identify ideal LinkedIn connections. Use this prompt: "I'm building [business description] and need to connect with [specific types of people] on LinkedIn. What LinkedIn search terms should I use? What mutual interests or challenges might we share? How should I position myself when reaching out?" Create LinkedIn connection campaigns around specific business objectives. If you're raising funding, target angel investors in your particular industry or sector. If you need strategic partnerships, focus on complementary service providers. Quality beats quantity in LinkedIn entrepreneurial networking. Research LinkedIn prospects before connecting. Check their recent posts, company news, or mutual connections. A reference to their latest achievement or shared connection dramatically increases response rates. Networking isn't about collecting LinkedIn connections—it's about building relationships that create mutual value. Many entrepreneurs connect and then disappear, missing opportunities to develop partnerships. ChatGPT can help you maintain consistent LinkedIn engagement. Try this prompt: "I want to stay connected with my LinkedIn network without being pushy. Help me create a system for engaging with others' content, sharing valuable resources, and maintaining relationships over time." Engage with others' LinkedIn content before promoting your own. Comment thoughtfully on posts from potential clients or partners. Share relevant articles with specific LinkedIn connections who might find them helpful. Make introductions between contacts who could benefit from knowing each other. Use ChatGPT to draft LinkedIn comments that add value rather than just praise. Instead of "Great post!" try something like "This reminds me of a similar challenge we faced at [company]. We found that [specific insight] was particularly helpful. Thanks for sharing your perspective." ChatGPT makes LinkedIn networking more efficient, but successful entrepreneurs still invest time in building genuine relationships on LinkedIn. Use AI to handle structure, templates, and initial drafts, then add personal touches that reflect authentic interest in others. The entrepreneurs who succeed on LinkedIn provide value before asking for anything—regardless of their age or experience level. They share insights, make connections, and solve problems for others. ChatGPT makes these LinkedIn activities more scalable, giving younger entrepreneurs the tools to compete professionally. For teen and young entrepreneurs, start with one area—perhaps optimizing your LinkedIn profile or planning your next month of LinkedIn content. As you see results, expand your use of AI tools to other LinkedIn networking activities. The key advantage younger entrepreneurs have is adaptability and a willingness to embrace new tools, such as AI.

Meta's Oakley Smart Glasses Have 3K Video—Watch Out, Ray-Ban
The new Oakley Meta glasses outshine the Ray-Ban Meta with a big jump in battery life and video quality. And there's supposedly even more to come. When Meta launched the second generation of its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in late 2023, few predicted the success that lay ahead for the collaboration—perhaps not even Meta itself. But now, with more than two million sales under its belt, Meta has been looking for a way to widen its partnership with eyewear giant and Ray-Ban owner EssilorLuxottica and keep up the momentum. The answer it seems was staring them in the face: a collaboration with the company's second largest brand, Oakley. 'We launched our second generation of the Ray-Ban Meta glasses at [Meta] Connect a year and a half ago, and they've taken off faster than we expected,' Alex Himel, VP of wearables at Meta tells WIRED. 'But they were never meant to be the one and only thing we did with EssilorLuxottica.' 'We've found people leaning into different active use cases with [Ray-Ban Meta]. And so Oakley, which is a brand that has represented both performance and technical innovation, felt like the most natural next step for our collaboration.' Oakley Meta specs have a higher resolution camera, offering 3K video, up from full HD in the Ray-Ban Metas. Photograph: Oakley Like Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta will be a full smart glasses range, with a number of styles to choose from as the line expands. However, it's the popular Oakley HSTN frames (pronounced HOW-stuhn) that are the first to get the Meta makeover, with all of the same Meta AI functionality as Ray-Ban Metas, but with improved features aimed at a performance market. This includes a 50 percent longer battery life, with a fully charged pair of Oakley Meta HSTN lasting up to eight hours of typical use compared with four hours on the Ray-Ban Meta. The Oakley Meta's charging case also gets a boost, with up to 48 hours of charging time on the go, versus 36 hours in the Ray-Ban Meta. That's perhaps all the more surprising when you hear that the Oakley Meta also have a higher resolution camera, allowing you to share video in 3K video, up from full HD in the Ray-Ban Metas. This is a down to a new physical battery plus software improvements, Himel says, but can Ray-Ban Meta owners expect similar improvements in the future? Oakley Meta glasses have 50 percent more battery life, with a fully charged pair lasting up to eight hours versus four on the Ray-Ban iteration. Photograph: Oakley 'One thing that's cool about Ray-Ban Meta is that every month we've been shipping software updates that make the products better. And so owners should already be noticing that the image quality is getting better—but yes of course, we'll have hardware updates at some point for the Ray-Ban Meta, too.' With a target market that is likely looking to throw themselves down mountains, over hills and along roads, durability has been given due consideration. The Oakley Meta HSTN use the same proprietary frame materials as the analog HSTN, including Oakley's O-Matter, which promises to be 25 percent lighter and twice as strong as traditional acetate. Of course, there are some differences in overall weight compared with the analog versions, but it has been something that Meta says it has worked closely with Oakley to find the balance that stays true to the brand and what its users want from a pair of its glasses. 'I'm learning a lot. I have a software background, and so it's easy for me to focus on making sure this integrates well with Instagram or the image quality is really good,' says Himel. 'But then when I speak to Matteo or Rocco from EssilorLuxottica, we have to consider all these subtle dimensions that keep the glasses authentic to the brand. 'We've done a lot of research to make sure the flexible hinges fit just right, and that the extra weight is balanced out so that if you're doing something active, they stay on your face, and that they're comfortable to wear all day.' Some of the frames also come with Oakley's PRIZM lenses, which enhance color and contrast for detail enhancement that can help all the more during active use, and there's an IPX4 waterproofing rating that matches Ray-Ban Meta, though Himel admits as this means the glasses are merely splash proof, more needs to be done for future versions. 'I surf pretty actively, and one of the top use cases I've wanted is to have a pair of glasses that I can wear surfing. IPX4 can withstand getting wet, but not getting submerged—that needs an IP67 rating. That's something we're working on for future glasses, but if you're getting splashed, if it's raining, if you're sweating—you don't need to worry about that. The Oakley Meta HSTN work great for this.' The Oakley Meta HSTN will be available in six different finishes, but the range kicks off with a limited edition Oakley Meta, featuring gold accents and gold 24K PRIZM Polar lenses. They will cost $499 and are available for preorder from July 11, with others in the collection costing $399. But what's next for Meta's collaboration with EssilorLuxottica—which has licenses for brands including Chanel, Prada and Dolce & Gabbana—considering the latter announced it would be ramping up production of Meta glasses to 10 million a year by 2026? 'We're continuing to work closely together,' says Himel. "Glasses are a very personal choice. Different people pick different things, different brands, to represent who they are. So we will continue to launch more brands and more styles. 'We have already learned how to scale much more quickly, but there are still a good set of technical and operational problems to solve before we get there. But that's something we're excited to do, and so this is definitely a step in that direction.'
