Succession-Based

Succession-Based acceleration lets you use everything Zo has—workspaces, events, mentorship, and the global community—with zero upfront fees, zero equity. You pay only when you raise funds (4.2% of the capital raised) and your access is time-bound: each approval lasts for one months. To continue, you simply reapply and get vouched in again.

How It Works

1. Apply via Zo Accelerator Typeform.

2. Get Vouched/Approved:

   • 5 founder vouches or Zo team approval unlocks a 1-month active period.

3. Build and Use All Perks:

   • 24/7 workspace, all amenities, events, mentorship, community.

4. Monthly Vibe-check (Reapplication):

   • At the end of each month period, you must reapply (and be re-vouched) to stay active.

   • No hard feelings if you step out; rejoin any time by reapplying.

5. Success Fee:

   • If you raise funds during active period through introduction made by Zo, Zo earns a 4.2% success fee on the capital raised.

• Access to All Events & Hackathons
