Frequently asked questions
What should tech professionals wear in a LinkedIn headshot?+
Smart casual is the right call for most tech roles. A quality plain t-shirt, clean polo, or blazer over a t-shirt all work well. Avoid formal business suits (too corporate for tech) and also avoid very casual clothing (too relaxed for a professional profile). Match what you would wear to an investor meeting or important client call.
Should a startup founder headshot be formal or casual?+
Casual but polished. Founders who look too corporate appear out of touch with startup culture; founders who look too casual appear unserious. These prompts specifically target the smart-casual sweet spot that reads well on LinkedIn and in press coverage.
What background works best for a tech LinkedIn headshot?+
Minimal and modern. A clean white wall, blurred co-working space, or softly blurred modern office background all work. Avoid busy backgrounds and anything that competes with your face for attention. The goal is that the viewer's eye goes immediately to your expression.
