Founding partner program

Know which founders are actually ready — before you commit resources.

ZeroToOpen is a free launch planner for first-time founders — AI-personalized checklist, budget, and timeline for their exact business and location. We're launching now, and we're looking for a small group of founding partner organizations: your founders get the tool free, and you get a live dashboard of their progress.

Data & privacy

The line we won't cross.

You see progress metrics by default — checklist completion, budget totals, milestones, task counts. Founders' notes, documents, and AI assistant messages stay private unless they choose to share a specific milestone or document with you, where you can comment directly. Founders are shown your organization's name before connecting, and can disconnect anytime.

Free for you, free for every founder you refer — and as an early partner, you shape what we build next. Setup takes minutes.
