What worked, what didn't work, at work.

the lessons.

WhatWorked is the professional network where founders and operators share what actually happened — verified through their LinkedIn so every byline is a real person with a real role.

Why we built this

LinkedIn rewards performance.
WhatWorked rewards honesty.

Every post is tagged worked or didn't work. That single constraint changes everything about what gets shared — and what gets read.

Honest by design

The "worked / didn't work" tag is required. No vague wins. No "lessons learned" without naming what actually broke.

For builders, by builders

Founders, PMs, ops, and engineers writing for an audience that's been there. No recruiters, no thought leaders, no inspirational quotes.

Lessons over likes

We measure posts by depth of discussion and references back, not vanity metrics. The best critique gets surfaced — not the loudest take.

Stories on WhatWorked this week

"I've stopped reading LinkedIn. Every other post on WhatWorked has changed how I think about a real problem in my company. It's the only network I open expecting to learn something."

Diego Marín · Co-founder & CEO, Riverbank
