About this audio edition This is the free audio edition of Build in Public: How Founders Turn Transparency into Trust, Community, and Sustainable Growth by Volodymyr Khomichenko. This free audio edition runs for approximately one hour and forty minutes and contains roughly half of the complete book. It carries the core argument: the introduction, the full framework, and selected chapters exploring why building in public becomes an engine of growth for some founders, does almost nothing for others, and actively harms a few. Drawing on research into 40 founders and companies, the book introduces the formula Base × Coefficient × Sign, the four requirements of a viable business, the two gates of substance and truth, and the three amplifiers that make transparency powerful. It also explores the difference between adoption and revenue, accumulated distribution, costly honesty, founder reputation, the emotional cost of visibility, and the transition from audience to community. The central argument is simple: transparency is not an engine. It creates nothing. It multiplies what already exists. The voice you hear is AI-generated, but every idea, insight, analysis, framework, and editorial decision comes from Volodymyr Khomichenko. Volodymyr Khomichenko is a Tech B2B Marketing Strategist, author, and Senior Marketing Director at Zoolatech with 13+ years of marketing experience, including 9+ years in B2B technology marketing. 🌐 Website: https://khomichenko.com/ 🎧 Listen to the free audio edition on ElevenReader: https://elevenreader.io/audiobooks/build-in-public-audiobook/pj_froIhPBzNBAUUDj5oINW Build in Public: How Founders Turn Transparency into Trust, Community, and Sustainable Growth is available in audiobook, ebook, Kindle, paperback, and hardcover formats.
