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