Zero →1
Zero→1 is a founder-focused software application designed to help people turn business ideas into validated ventures. It organizes work into structured "Founder Missions" that translate open business questions into practical tasks, such as talking to customers, testing pricing, running numbers, or presenting an offer. The app follows stages including Idea, Validate, Build, and Operate. The tool emphasizes evidence over passive learning. Users record what actually happened during each mission, and Zero→1 maintains a "Founder Memory" that tracks tested assumptions, lessons learned, and decisions made. This creates a feedback loop where progress is measured by useful action and improved decision quality rather than content consumption. Zero→1 is available as a web application at app.zeroto1global.com and through iOS and Android mobile apps. It is marketed as free to get started and targets individuals building a business, side hustle, or small venture. The homepage includes a worked example of an ice cream for dogs business to illustrate how the mission–evidence–decision cycle works.
