This isn't a YC competitor. YC is the best accelerator out there and there isn't need for another in my opinion.

A year ago I looked at my life and realized I really enjoy and get fulfillment out of three things:

1) learning about new industries and thinking about how technology can improve them

2) developing products and consequently seeing numbers go up (users, revenue, anything really)

3) mentoring people I really enjoy the company of over extended periods of time (years)

Zero-F is my attempt to build a thing where I maximize my ability to do those things. It isn't a program or application based. It's me opportunistically building 1 to 2 startups a year with friends or people in my extended network or even new people. I provide business building insight, product knowledge, capital, recruit talent, and they bring grit.
