Week 1
Define
Decide what to build, who it is for and what a useful first version includes.
Start from zero. Build something real.
FROM0 is a global 30-day builder cohort for people turning an idea into a working product.
Applications for Cohort 01 open soon. Join the waitlist to hear when they do.
The program
A month to make a useful product.
Cohort 01 will accept ideas, prototypes and early products. Selected builders will spend 30 days developing something another person can use.
Individuals and small teams will be welcome. A pitch deck will not be required.
Applications will be reviewed before finalist pages are published. Each authenticated voter will have one vote, and referrals will never increase its weight.
Projects
Software people can use.
- Web and mobile products
- Developer tools and APIs
- AI and data products
- Open-source software
- Creative and community tools
- Other useful software
The 30 days
Four clear stages.
Builders publish a short update each week: what they made, what they learned and what they will do next.
Week 2
Build
Make the core experience work from beginning to end.
Week 3
Users
Put it in front of people, listen carefully and fix what matters.
Week 4
Ship
Release a usable product and present what changed along the way.
Program support
Support for the work.
Support will depend on what is available and useful. It may include product feedback, technical help, software, infrastructure or introductions. No particular resource or amount is guaranteed.
- Product scope and user feedback
- Technical review and debugging
- Software, infrastructure and credits where available
- Design, positioning and launch feedback
- Introductions to relevant people and partners
- Public project pages, build logs and Demo Day
Ownership
You keep what you build.
Your company, code, intellectual property, and future stay yours.
- Builders keep their company, code and intellectual property.
- FROM0 does not require equity or exclusivity.
- Joining the cohort does not create an investment or employment relationship.
- Any later commercial relationship would be optional and agreed separately.
Cohort 01
Applications will open soon.
Join the waitlist and we'll let you know when Cohort 01 applications are ready.
