Ran a founder accountability group for 6 weeks. Smashing results! Opening 2 spots for the next one.
In January a few people in my community asked me to start an accountability group — 5 bootstrapped founders, 2 calls a week, one commitment each week for each founder.
6 weeks later:
• First sale happened for 2 founders
• One founder had built an app but never validated — we fixed her funnels, she talked with people, and got her first sale
• Cold outreach resulted in a signed retainer on the same day
• A founder completed a Stripe integration on an open-source platform, active users came, partnership talks started, first dollars came in the door
• Founder stuck in validation for years, built a testable offer & got out of the office, iterated through 2 offers and testing the market faster now
• Audio plugin founder, pivoted into a real studio business opportunity
• A founder went from having 1 free client to 3 paying clients (at $2k more than she was going to charge)!
The secret? There is none. Show up, commit to ONE thing, do it, report back. Repeat.
What members said:
"This is absolutely one of the things I would have put off." — on why accountability matters
"I love being part of this group because it's teaching me the reality of all of this, even if it's painful."
"The lessons from early stage entrepreneurship are pretty universal... every Monday being like, what's the next thing you're working on? That's definitely applicable."
Opening a new cohort. 3 spots taken, 2 left.
• 2x/week sessions (Mon + Thu)
• ONE commitment per week
• Goal: persist-or-pivot clarity in 12 weeks or less
• 5 founders max per cohort
• $95/month
The process is simple. If you truly want to stop messing around with your ideas and get them off the ground, drop “ACCOUNTABILITY” in the comments and I’ll follow up with you.
