What It Is

It Makes Sense is a strategic communications service for tech founders, built around the idea of “turning what you know into what you’re known for.” It does not position itself as a generic writing service, posting agency, or SEO tool. Instead, it helps founders distill genuinely meaningful things to say from years of experience, industry judgment, and personal opinions, then build public authority and sustained visibility around them.

Core Features and Workflow

Its service process is divided into four steps. First, it builds deep background understanding through interviews, materials, and conversations. Second, it uses editorial judgment to define the communication angle, target audience, and reputation positioning. Third, a dedicated editor shapes the founder’s voice and produces the content, which the client then reviews. Finally, it handles publishing and engagement to maintain a consistent content cadence. The site explicitly mentions LinkedIn content; the Authority plan also supports multiple platforms and includes engagement analysis and reporting. The Partner plan goes further, covering PR, media outreach, event positioning, speaking preparation, interviews, and media production.

Pricing and Service Boundaries

Pricing is relatively transparent: Foundation costs €500/month and includes 4 high-impact LinkedIn posts per month, a personalized communications strategy, knowledge accumulation, and a monthly strategy call. Authority costs €1,000/month and includes 8 posts per month, multi-platform support, lead-generation positioning, priority editing, engagement analysis, and biweekly strategy calls. Partner is custom-priced and provides a full strategic communications partnership. The website does not disclose payment methods, contract length, refund policy, or any free trial information.

Pros and Cons

Its main strength is its highly focused positioning, making it suitable for tech founders who want to build thought leadership and a personal brand. It emphasizes identifying “what is worth saying” before writing the content, which helps avoid the hollow feel of common AI-generated bulk copy or ghostwritten posts. The team claims over 15 years of experience in editing, PR, and tech companies, and also uses AI tools to maintain contextual accuracy, without replacing editorial judgment with AI. Its limitations are the lack of public case studies, performance data, or information about client scale. There is also no information on adaptation for China-focused platforms such as WeChat Official Accounts, Zhihu, or Channels. If a company only needs low-cost scheduling, bulk SEO articles, or simple social media management, this high-touch service may be more than necessary.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited to tech founders targeting overseas markets who rely on recognition from investors, customers, partners, and talent—especially those who have deep expertise but do not know how to express it effectively. Access from China cannot be determined from the site content alone. Since its core use case includes LinkedIn, many users in mainland China may face network restrictions when using LinkedIn and related overseas communication channels. Payment support for commonly used domestic methods should also be confirmed. Alternatives include Taplio, AuthoredUp, ChatGPT, personal branding consultants, PR agencies, or Chinese-language content agencies.
