/ About this event

Most "building in public" is just inflated LinkedIn noise. But, now, you'll understand what actually kept founders accountable through the hurdles of building a business.

Chris Sheng — Growth Advisor at Mucker Capital, CEO of LeadrPro, and a 3x founder who's worked with 300+ VC-backed startups — spent the past year running structured accountability groups across 40+ founders, recording weekly milestones and exactly why they were hit or missed.

This session is the data-backed playbook from that experiment: why founders struggle to follow through, and the system that helps them do it.

You'll learn: - The real patterns behind why founders miss their goals - Building in public that actually works: post what you'll execute this week, not just vanity metrics - The binary milestone rule: every weekly goal has to be true or false, no gray area - How to set the right goals through backward planning - How to structure your own accountability loop so weekly goals actually get hit

Join us to build a system of accountability — not just theory.
