About
Start small. Find great companies early. Grow with them.
The idea
Zero Index is built around a simple idea: the best way to learn investing is to start doing the work.
We find companies early, learn what makes them work, talk to the people building them, and develop our own perspective on what is worth betting on.
Right now, Zero Index is about building judgment, relationships, and a network of founders and investors. Over time, the goal is simple: turn that experience into real investments and build Zero Index into an early-stage venture firm.
The work
- SourcingFinding companies before a round, a press piece or another list has reached them.
- ResearchProduct, founder, market, traction, competition. Every figure on a profile says where it came from.
- Founder conversationsTalking to the people building, and writing down what we learned.
- Tracking outcomesEvery company is dated the day we found it and followed from there, including the ones that fade.
- RelationshipsConnecting founders with the people and investors who can help them.
Where it is today
Zero Index does not yet manage a fund, hold investments, or have portfolio companies. The companies on this site are ones we track and research. When that changes, it will be stated plainly, on this page and on any company it affects.
