Founder | Creator | Strategist | Building AI, Leaders, & Ideas That Move Markets

For sponsorships + booking + speaking: hello@cred.marketing
------
I build AI, leaders, products, and ideas that move markets.

As a founder, creator, and strategist, I’ve taken products from concept to market, scaled sales engines, built teams, and created campaigns that drive both revenue and cultural relevance. Deeply integrating AI in every step of the way. 

My experience spans SaaS, AI, B2B, and beyond, working alongside the companies and executives shaping tomorrow’s most important industries. (Would love to work with yours!)

I operate where innovation meets execution. 
Blending the reach of a creator, the precision of a strategist, and the perspective of an AI founder who has built and scaled from the ground up. 

The result: content, campaigns, AI, and go-to-market strategies that cut through the noise and position brands at the forefront of their markets.

Founder

1 month of content in 1 hour

Attended a dinner with top SF founders and VCs.
What top teams are actually betting on for AI in 2026:
(reframed my entire AI roadmap.)

I asked everyone one question:
“One word to describe AI in 2026.”

The answers were telling:
Unpredictable. Essential. Explosive. Pervasive. Vertical agents!

When you zoom out, a few patterns become very clear.

Here’s what actually matters for 2026:

1. AI becomes invisible, but unavoidable
Winning tools aren’t all about the AI AI AI.
AI will just be baked into workflows, decisions, and daily work.

2. Most teams are still using AI wrong
Oh so many teams had shallow AI applications.
And leaned in hard for the branding and buzz words.
Real gains come from deeply integrated systems that compound.

3. Vertical > generic
Vertical agents only win when paired with real domain expertise.
Otherwise, it’s just thin wrappers.
2026 is for AI depth and real applications.

4. Enhancement beats replacement
The strongest founders weren’t chasing “AI replaces X.”
They’re building for human amplification:
better judgment, faster execution, fewer bottlenecks.

5. Humanness becomes a differentiator
As AI gets more powerful, taste, trust, narrative, and leadership are everything!!

If you’re planning for 2026, these are the words I’d build a roadmap around.

Huge thank you to Emma Greenwald, Mahir Kumar Singh, Ricky Marton and the whole HubSpot For Startups team for such an incredibly curated, high-signal room!

everyone is asking how to win on LinkedIn in 2026.
don’t copy the wrong playbook.
copy mine here:

we’re entering the era of AI-generated sameness.
and that’s exactly why founders who sound the most human will stand out.

(thanks Audrey Chia for the great question here!!)

if your content could have been written by a model, it won’t win.
your unfair advantage is your unique, human, point of view.

background. 
lived experience. 
actual opinions from building.

so treat your LinkedIn like a media company.
don’t copy trends, but deliberately do the opposite.

you don’t even need a traditional tech background to do this.
teachers, nurses, operators, founders from any industry all have a lane.

all you have to do is find yours.

be deeply personal. 
unmistakably you.
and build media around that.

that’s how you stand out when everyone else sounds the same.

most founders say they’re “data-driven”.

so why are they still avoiding the hardest decisions?

i teamed up with Alyona Mysko to share with you our top tips for making data work for you, not the other way around. 

ultimately, the problem isn’t lack of data.
it’s lack of decision systems.

data only works when:
1. you know what decision you’re trying to make
2. you’ve set limits before emotions get involved

otherwise it’s just expensive noise.

swipe to see the full breakdown!

Top 2 Tips For Turning Data Into Decisions As a Founder

Come with me for a day in the life!
Building at the center of the B2B creator economy.
(And a sneak peek of what’s next.)

1. Morning at the SF LinkedIn offices.
Unpacking what’s actually coming in 2026!

2. Back-to-back convos with teams building next gen B2B tools.
So fun to hear top insights driving 2026 roadmaps.

3. Burmese lunch between meetings 
(highly underrated, btw)

4. Filming new content, stay tuned!

5. Waymo rides across the city.
Filmed before this week’s Waymo shutdown, lol

6. Closed the day at an invite-only HubSpot for Startups dinner.
Packed with awesome SF founders and operators.

7. And of course, getting to hang w/ the one and only @Katie Wrathall

A few signals I keep hearing from leaders across LinkedIn, HubSpot, and top B2B builders:

- B2B creator economy is shifting from “influencer” to infrastructure
 Content isn’t the output anymore.
Distribution, trust, and repeatable systems are.

- Founder-led media is becoming a core GTM channel.
 Especially on LinkedIn, where credibility compounds.

- 2026 is about depth over volume
Winners go all in on what’s working.

- Lines between product, marketing, and media are collapsing
 The best teams (and creators) are building all 3 together.

Days like this remind me why I’m bullish on where B2B creators are heading next.
And why I’m investing more into behind-the-scenes access, IRL convo, and building in public.

More to come soon in 2026!!
Happy Holidays to you all!

the upgrade you need to your 2026 cold email plans:

(how to basically print meetings!!)

most cold email campaigns fail because emails never land in the inbox.

so i really had to rethink my process here for sending emails.

i switched to Maildoso and my reply rates jumped almost immediately.

here’s why it works:
1. mailboxes are built for deliverability, not just sending. 
2. 98%+ of emails land in the primary inbox (even to outlook)
3. self-healing mailboxes rotate + replace burned addresses automatically, so campaigns never stop.

they also just rolled out Google Workspace accounts. 
so you can get high-deliverability SMTP mailboxes + fully legit workspace inboxes directly inside Maildoso!
(+ they’re priced lower than anything else out there)

plus setup is effortless (no dread!!) 
hundreds of mailboxes ready in mins, domains included, no manual config needed.

and somehow the cost is 50% cheaper than gmail/outlook mailboxes??

if your outbound campaigns feel stuck, this is the playbook you need to hack reply rates at scale.

STOP and do this one thing right now:

(before you adopt any more AI tools)

everyone wants to jump straight to AI.
they buy the latest tools and start running experiments.

but the truth is, AI can only be as good as the data it sees.
without a 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵, you get conflicting outputs, misaligned decisions, and wasted time.

a single source of truth is:

 • one place where all data is accurate and up-to-date
 • standardized definitions across teams
 • clear ownership of information

why it matters:

 • AI trained on messy or duplicated data produces unreliable answers
 • teams spend more time cleaning output than using it
 • decisions made from inconsistent data hurt credibility and speed

think of it as the less exciting, but critical, bottleneck to plan for.
(before you start automating or scaling with AI)

the companies who do this first, build reliable workflows and get lasting leverage from AI.

why “AI will replace jobs” is the wrong frame

(+ the reframe that will completely transform your workflows)

everyone keeps asking which jobs AI will replace.
but that’s the wrong question.
AI doesn’t replace 𝘫𝘰𝘣𝘴, it replaces 𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘴.

every role is a bundle of tasks.
(some routine, some creative, some relational) and AI picks off the routine ones first.

example:
a marketer might spend time writing briefs, analyzing campaigns, pitching ideas.
AI can handle the briefs and analysis.
but the pitching? still so human!!

the better question is:
which tasks in my job are predictable enough for AI to do consistently well?
because that’s where the shift starts.

the future isn’t “AI vs humans”
it’s “humans who redesign their job around AI” vs those who don’t.

Business Owner & Top 1% Networker | Growing your network, reputation, and opportunities through my free newsletter: Network To Net Worth | Subscribe below 👇

Hey, I’m Rohan Sheth. I've built a killer network, and I'm teaching you how to do the same. 

If there’s one lesson I’ve learned in business, it’s this:
Your network determines your net worth.

I didn’t come up through Ivy League schools or VC pipelines. 
I built my career by learning how to connect with the right people, at the right time, in the right way.

That skill has changed everything for me:

↳ It’s helped me build multiple companies.
↳ It’s opened doors to opportunities I never saw coming.
↳ It’s allowed me to help 200+ companies drive over $2 billion ROI.

You can have the best ideas, skills, and strategies. 

But if nobody knows who you are, none of it matters. 

When you don’t network the right way, you end up:

❌ Invisible in the rooms that matter.
❌ Ignored when opportunities come around.
❌ Watching less talented people pass you by.

But when you do it right:

✅ You get introductions that money can’t buy.
✅ You build a reputation that works even when you’re not in the room.
✅ You turn relationships into profit, without being fake, pushy, or spammy.

Networking isn't about who you know. 

It's about the strength of your relationships and how people show up when push comes to shove. 

That’s what I teach here on LinkedIn and in my weekly newsletter, Network to Net Worth.

So if you want to:

→ Expand your network with high-value connections
→ Create opportunities that accelerate your career
→ Build influence without playing the corporate game

Follow me here on LinkedIn and subscribe to the newsletter via my featured section.

Because your next big opportunity is already in someone else’s network.

Rohan Sheth

If you’re looking for a risk-free way to grow...

You’ll be waiting forever.

Growth doesn't happen in the safe zone.

It happens when you’re unsure, uncomfortable, 
And doing something you could easily talk yourself out of.

My career didn’t take off until I stopped trying to play it safe.

That meant reaching out to people I “wasn’t ready for”, 
And asking for intros I hadn’t earned yet on paper.

None of that happens if you wait for permission.

After years of building my network, one pattern is obvious:

The people who grow fastest aren’t avoiding risk.
They’ve just realized that staying comfortable is the bigger risk.

Here’s how they actually think about risk:

1️⃣ You don't need to be ready. You need to start.
↳ Waiting for the “right time” is how nothing happens.

2️⃣ Doubt never goes away. You just act anyway.
↳ Confidence comes after action, not before.

3️⃣ The biggest risks pay off the most.
↳ Small bets get small returns. Go bigger.

4️⃣ You learn faster when there’s something on the line.
↳ Real conversations beat thinking about them.

5️⃣ The right people respect action.
↳ Your network notices who’s actually building.

6️⃣ Stop waiting for permission.
↳ Nobody’s coming to give you a green light.

7️⃣ Action builds confidence. Confidence creates access.
↳ That’s how your network starts opening up.

Risk feels scary now.

But in a few years, you’ll regret the moves you didn’t make,
Far more than the ones that didn’t work.

8 FREE Marketing Hacks That Still Work in 2026

(#2 is honestly my favorite)

Most marketers think they need better copy.
Better ads, funnels, tech.

They don't.

What they need is better psychology.

The campaigns that actually convert don't focus on features.
They focus on feelings.

Here are 8 tactics that consistently make a difference:

1️⃣ Logic makes people think. Emotion makes people buy.
↳ Decisions are made emotionally, then justified rationally.

2️⃣ Data informs. Stories sell.
↳ People forget numbers. They remember narratives.

3️⃣ People trust crowds more than claims.
↳ Where everyone else is going, they'll follow.

4️⃣ Vague promises get ignored. Specific results get attention.
↳ The more precise your claim, the more believable it becomes.

5️⃣ Speed beats perfection in buying decisions.
↳ People will pay more for faster results.

6️⃣ Give them a reason, any reason, and they'll comply.
↳ Justification increases action, even if the reason is obvious.

7️⃣ Every extra step loses 20% of buyers.
↳ The easier you make it, the more they'll do it.

8️⃣ Show them the alternative. Make your offer irresistible.
↳ When they see what they're avoiding, your solution looks better.

If you're struggling to get traction,
Try looking at your offer through these lenses.

Because these aren't hacks.
They're fundamentals.

And if you nail the fundamentals, you don't need to outspend your competitors.

You just need to outthink them.

 8 FREE Marketing Hacks That Still Work in 2026

I’ve made $millions off my network.

Being surrounded by the right people is a HACK.

In the early days, I kept throwing myself into rooms, 
Where I was clearly the newbie.

And trust me… it felt rough.

Everyone else was shaking hands like it was nothing,
Closing deals while I was just trying not to look out of place.

But here’s where everything shifted:

I stopped trying to “fit in.”
And started letting the room upgrade me.

I matched their pace.
I borrowed their mindset.
I treated their network like the new playing field I had access to.

And suddenly, opportunities started landing in my lap.

Not because I magically got smarter or pulled 18-hour days.

But because I finally stepped into circles that forced me to level up.

A circle that keeps you small looks like this:

❌ Drains your energy
❌ Hasn’t grown in forever
❌ Makes you shrink your dreams
❌ Loves complaining more than improving
❌ Gets uncomfortable when you start winning

If any of that sounds familiar…
It’s time for a circle upgrade.

Here’s the 5-Circle Framework I live by:

1. People ahead of you
↳ Expand your vision

2. People beside you
↳ Keep you sharp and accountable

3. People who challenge you
↳ Expose your blind spots

4. People who think differently
↳ Spark ideas and creativity

5. People who have your back
↳ Protect your momentum

And if you want to build that kind of network, start simple:

✅ Talk openly about what you’re creating
✅ Put yourself in better rooms
✅ Build real relationships
✅ Ask smarter questions
✅ Show up with value

Your network is the engine of your career.

Choose the people who shape it wisely.
Because they’re shaping your future too.

If you want to build a network that actually pays you back…

Network to Net Worth is where I break down exactly how I did it.
