We back unreasonable founders doing “the crazy and impossible” before it becomes mainstream

Image by Steve Johnson

Are you "impossible"?

We’re looking for deviants under the radar, with unobvious ideas and non-consensus perspectives.

Our bet is that "impossible" ideas that break coherence take humanity to its next leap.

We look for;

  • The crazies who do hard stuff for fun

  • Who think they can save the world

  • Who think accelerators are garbage

  • Who think competition is for losers

  • Who think so outside the box, that other investors don’t know how to handle them

Meet the FZ team

We are operators with exits and expertise across all major business functions with decades of experience specifically in pre-seed, but more importantly, we're doing this because we think we can change the world through founders like you, and we're no strangers to doing unreasonable hard things.

The FZ Experience

Highly cognizant that your unique perspective is your super power

Founder friendly. You lead the fundraising terms.

You call the shots, we just help you with speed to getting there

Intimate and bespoke. 3-5 founders per cohort with rolling “admissions”

We are not

A program that makes everybody look the same at the end

Standardized equity terms with large dilution to participate

Busywork and generic activities and programming

A large impersonal cohort with application deadlines

Putting founders first is our DNA

  • We don’t take board seats because that’s ridiculous at pre-seed

  • We want to understand your vision, but you don't need fancy projections to convince us

  • We don’t tell you what to do

  • The programs are free, we don’t even take equity

  • Our programs are focused on outcomes, not activity

  • Programs are built for part-time founders by operators
