Social Media has taken the world by storm. Some of the most powerful entrepreneurs and investors in the country use it to talk about their business, interact with customers (and potential clients), and have a lot of fun at the same time.
With Instagram becoming widely popular, we have decided to compile lessons from the best entrepreneurs and investors in this field. Here are their 10 favorite Instagram accounts:
1. Larry Page – CEO of Google
The co-founder and CEO of Google is a very private person, but his lifestyle keeps making headlines as he owns some impossibly cool things. His Instagram feed shows the world his love for flying planes, fast cars, and even balloons.
While he does not often talk about Google or its products (the company is very secretive), he shares a lot about this leader who has been able to reinvigorate his aging firm many times over.
2. Jack Dorsey – Co-Founder of Twitter/Square
Jack Dorsey is not only the co-founder of Twitter. He also runs Square (a mobile payment company). He has a very simple way to connect with people and has built up a solid reputation for his companies.
His Instagram feed shows him being goofy and having fun. For example, he recently posted a picture of his favorite cereal with the message: “My favorite thing in the world.”
3. Guy Kawasaki – Entrepreneur and former Apple Evangelist
The card-carrying member of the Apple family loves Silicon Valley more than anything else.
His Instagram posts are brimming with humor and pictures from places to eat, things to see, and even people to meet at various events around the city.
He is also famous for being one of those guys who will share photo stories on Facebook!
4. Reid Hoffman – The co-founder of LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a social network for business professionals where they can connect and manage their professional lives online.
It may seem very similar to Facebook or Twitter, but the truth is that it has a lot of room for growth and success. Reid Hoffman’s Instagram feed shows his love for travel, cars, and music.
An avid entrepreneur himself, he also motivates people to get up off their butt and start something by showing what he does every day professionally and personally!
5. Elon Musk – CEO of Tesla Motors/Space X/PayPal
Known as the real-life Iron Man, Elon Musk’s life is an inspiration to many entrepreneurs today.
He is the man behind PayPal (where he helped build PayPal from nothing into a multi-billion dollar company), SpaceX (the private space exploration firm), and the new Tesla motors, which are the most powerful road-driven vehicles in the world today.
His Instagram feed shows his love for food, cars, and an inspiring video of a simulation of what it will be like to take the first commercial flight around Mars.
6. Mark Zuckerberg – Co-Founder and CEO of Facebook
Facebook may have lost its luster a little bit in recent years, but it is still one of the most influential social networks in the world today. Its founder Mark Zuckerberg clearly loves being on Facebook as he spends a lot of time connecting with people through this site.
He has said that he would be hanging out on Facebook all day long! His Instagram feed contains pictures from different events where he talks to fans or attends meetings with business associates.
8. Gary Vaynerchuck – Author/Entrepreneur
Gary Vaynerchuk has built up a huge personal brand over the years. He runs a number of successful businesses and is also an author and motivational speaker on how to succeed in business.
But he does not focus only on business, and his Instagram feed shows him doing what he loves most- spending time with family and friends!
9. Kevin Systrom – Co-Founder of Instagram
Facebook bought Instagram for billions of dollars, but that did not keep its founder from enjoying his life away from work.
His Instagram page lets users worldwide see into his private life and get out his passion for great food! It has become something of a trend to use pictures taken with Instagram (rather than using it as just as another social network). Photos are often shared and tagged with hashtags that reflect the time of year or location.
This makes Instagram a great social network where users can enjoy the beautiful imagery in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
10. Chris Sacca – Venture Capitalist
Venture capital is a failing industry today, and investors are struggling to find highly profitable companies with real potential to grow big.
That’s why so many people follow venture capitalist Chris Sacca on Instagram because it gives them some insight into where the best deals are! Not only does he post pictures of investments he has made, but also pictures from his private life as well.
He even posts pictures of what tech startups he sees out there and what may be hot right now!
