Build in Public
How Founders Turn Transparency into Trust, Community, and Sustainable GrowthBy Volodymyr Khomichenko
Length1h 37m
About this audiobook
One founder raised $124 million and was gone in a week. Another worked alone with a laptop and has made millions a year for over a decade. Both were building in public. So why does transparency turn some founders into movements, do nothing for others, and destroy a few? Drawing on forty researched cases, this book gives a single answer: transparency is not an engine but a multiplier, and it amplifies whatever you have actually built. From that shift comes a working model — the four things openness can never create for you, the two gates that decide whether it works at all, and the three things that make it powerful. This free edition carries the argument in full, from the opening question to the conclusion.
