What Are the Pros and Cons of Sharing Your Work in Progress

Startups and founders often share their past failures, but rarely share their work in progress. That's because if that work ends up a failure, they will be judged and perhaps remembered for it.

However, while sharing WIP makes you vulnerable, that vulnerability makes this information interesting to people, and a message that would otherwise be shelved and forgotten gets spread for free.

Sharing work in progress isn't just a good way to learn from your customers, but also a way to spread your ideas for free.
