What happens when you create the only legit LinkedIn influencer ranking platform in the world… and then make the algorithm public?
You get bribe offers. Hate mail from millionaires. And a viral loop so strong it powers a 6-person startup with zero outbound sales.
In this episode of Under Embargo, we sit down with Jeremy Boissinot, CEO and co-founder of Favikon, the platform quietly transforming the B2B creator economy.
We cover:
- The gamification of influence — and why clout is currency
- LinkedIn’s ranking blind spots (and how creators are cashing in anyway)
- Why Favikon is thriving in a space most VCs wouldn’t touch
- The ethical chaos of ranking real people — and what comes next
Also discussed: algorithm conspiracies, fake engagement pods, and how much Becca had to pay to outrank Parry. (Spoiler: still TBD.)
