Founder Accountability Huddle

ALL SESSIONS TAKE PLACE VIRTUALLY ON ZOOM.

Stay Connected. Stay Accountable. Stay Human.

Scrum at 20Fathoms isn’t just about productivity. it’s about building a rhythm of support for entrepreneurs in Northern Michigan. Think of it as your built-in accountability circle: a space to show up as you are, get unstuck, share challenges, and celebrate progress.

These sessions neutralize the toxicity of perfectionism and instead provide a place for problem-solving, feedback, and balance. Bring your business goals, your self-care goals, or both – because being a founder means bringing your whole self.

Whether you want to quietly listen in for inspiration or actively share what you’re working on, Scrum is here to help you move forward. With sessions on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, it creates a consistent touchpoint for progress, accountability, and community support. Think of it is turning chaos into cadence.
