The Ultimate Founder's Manual by KP

WTF is Building In Public?!

“In the simplest form, building in public is just sharing as you go.”

- Alexis Ohanian on The Build In Public Podcast

1/ Engineer “Small Wins”

You’ve got the power to engineer small wins into your journey, which will give your dopamine levels a boost. This doesn't mean throwing a party for every tiny step, it does mean acknowledging and celebrating yourself for keeping on the journey and putting one foot in front of the other.

2/ Just Start and Embrace the Journey

Have an idea?

Start with real conversations to explore if your idea is solving a real pain point. Then, dive into building, testing, and iterating. Don’t shy away from sharing or asking publicly. Many are willing to support you, all you have to do is ask.

Remember the golden rule: "Closed mouths don’t get fed.”

3/ Goals

Achieving goals does not happen by accident. The heroes you look up to are relentless in their pursuit and intentional with their time, words, and efforts.

Be aware, be intentional.

4/ ABC = Always Be Curious

Keep your curiosity alive.

Always Be Curious—it's the compass guiding you through uncharted territories.

Tip: Start by asking why, then why again, and again…

5/ “Do Things That Don’t Scale”

-YC & common Founder wisdom

In many cases, that means doing tasks manually, to emphasize care while being intentional, personalized, and genuine in your connections and actions. Your actions now will compound later.

Building In Public is a journey, not a sprint, involving numerous iterations, each one amplifying the ripples you create.

The formula is simple: show, ask, converse.

6/ Building In Public: Your Unique Path

There's no "right" way to Build In Public.

Whether you follow existing frameworks or carve a unique path, the key is to step into the arena.

The journey is yours; own it.
