Who has run this

225 founders. 198 companies. 18 industries. More than half of them work in regulated fields where you do not get to be careless with client data or experiment in public.

Find yours below. Six industries have their own page with named alumni and what they built. The other twelve are here too, with the counts.

The industry pages above draw a wider circle than the table. A healthcare consulting firm with a veteran fundraising arm sits under Healthcare here and on the Nonprofit page there. A broker coach sits under Coaching here and on the Real Estate page there. The table never double counts. The pages meet people where they see themselves.

How these numbers were built

We checked every founder on the roster against their own company's website or a named third-party source, and saved the evidence per record. We inferred nothing from an email address. We count founders and team members separately: 225 founders here, 294 team members trained through the Teams Sprint and company-wide rollouts, never added together. We removed and logged internal accounts, test accounts, and family. We round nothing up.

Six founders are enrolled but not yet matched to an industry with a public source, so the industry table adds to 219 and the founder count is 225. We would rather show you the gap than fill it.


If your industry is missing

Twelve of the eighteen industries do not have a dedicated page, and yours may be absent from the list entirely. That has never been the deciding factor. The method is the same whether you run a gold exploration company or a family law firm: your voice, time, obstacles, and opportunities. Tell us what you run and we will tell you who on the roster is closest to you.

The Show Your Work promise: do the weekly actions, show up to office hours, and if you are not saving 10 or more hours a week by day 21, we keep working with you free until you are. 225 founders in, not a single person has asked for their money back.

225 founders in 18 industries have done this. The next one runs a business a lot like yours.
