Month Zero: Ship in 30 Days.

Technology is changing so quickly that software is becoming something teams can create on demand. A developer can ship a product in a day. Turning it into something useful still takes industry expertise, product judgment, design, marketing, distribution, and operations.

Month Zero's agents connect you with four other people and suggest startup ideas based on your collective experience and expertise. Your Circle chooses an idea, works together for 30 days, and then decides whether to continue.

Shared urgency, complementary skills, and enough overlapping time to ship proof in 30 days.

What Month Zero does

A startup experiment that begins with the team.

Month Zero is for people who want to build but do not yet have the full team or a proven idea. You meet through real work, not a directory or a pitch.

  1. Create a Working Profile

    Share what you have done, what you know, how you work, and the hours you can honestly protect each week.

  2. Receive a Circle Proposal

    Month Zero proposes four or five people with complementary experience and explains why the team makes sense.

  3. Choose an idea together

    Your Circle starts with a few ideas based on the team's combined experience. Choose one, change one, or bring your own.

  4. Build for 30 days

    Set responsibilities, share updates, and ship proof. At the end of the month, decide together what comes next.

Inside a Circle

One shared room for the work that matters.

See how the month works →
  1. 01

    Idea

    Keep the customer, problem, and current approach clear as the team learns.

  2. 02

    People and updates

    Agree on temporary responsibilities and use one shared conversation with the Circle Agent.

  3. 03

    Proof

    Record what the team actually shipped: code, a demo, research, a website, users, revenue, or another verifiable result.

Who it is for

Bring one strength. Meet the rest.

You do not need to know how to do everything. A Circle brings together people who cover different parts of the work and can commit to the same month. Month Zero looks for complementary experience and compatible ways of working. It does not rank people or promise a perfect fit.

Product and engineering

Turn an idea into something people can use.

Design and research

Understand the customer and shape the experience.

Marketing and distribution

Find the people who need the product.

Industry expertise

Know the problem, the constraints, and what already exists.

Operations and partnerships

Keep the experiment moving in the real world.

Day 30

Decide whether the team should keep building.

Review what you shipped and how you worked together. Continue for another Cycle, reform the team or direction, or close the experiment and keep the proof. A useful month does not have to become a permanent company.

The first New York Formation Run

Circles form when the pool is ready.

Month Zero does not force a weak match. The first run begins when enough people with different strengths and compatible availability are ready at the same time. Until then, your Working Profile stays in the pool for the next strong proposal.

Fictional demo pool. These counts come from seeded demonstration data, not real members. They show how the gate is measured, not traction.

What the team keeps

The work still matters when a Circle closes.

Every member keeps credit for their recorded contributions. A Circle can also preserve what it tried and what it learned. Nothing becomes visible to the wider network unless every active member approves it.
