Investors, hires and first customers all get email from you. Your signature is free distribution for whatever matters most this month.
What to include
- Your name and title
- The company name and one line on what it does
- A link to the product or a demo booking page
- Your LinkedIn, because investors will look you up anyway
- One current ask: hiring, a launch, or a fundraise
Example founder email signature
A simple layout that reads in any inbox, even with images turned off:

Banner idea
Rotate the banner with the company: a launch week, a job opening, a waitlist. Change it once and every email updates.
Before you send
Keep it to one ask. Three links and two banners read as noise, and the one that matters gets lost.
Make yours in a minute
Paste your LinkedIn link or type your name. Adyu reads your name, role and colours, sets your signature in 431 designs, and installs it in Gmail, Outlook or Apple Mail. Free to start.
Make my founder signatureQuestions
What should a startup founder put in their email signature?
Name, title, company, a one-line description, a link to the product or a call booking page, and one current ask such as hiring.
Is it worth adding a banner as a founder?
Yes, if you change it. A banner for this month's launch or open role gets seen by everyone you email, at no cost.
