Founder Member
What is the Founder Member Model in Zo Accelerator?
If you hold a Zo World Founder Membership, you have permanent, priority access to the entire Zo Accelerator program—across every city and every node. No equity. No success fee. No cohort limits. No vouching, reapplying, or waiting list. You are instantly and perpetually eligible for all Zo Accelerator resources, events, workspaces, and community.
How It Works
Lifetime Accelerator Privileges: As a Founder Member, you are always “approved” to join Zo Accelerator, anywhere and anytime.
Automatic, Global Access: Plug into any Zo House accelerator (SF, BLR, DXB, Whitefield, and more) on your own schedule.
No Equity, No Fees: Unlike other accelerator models, you’ll never give up a percentage of your company or pay a success fee to Zo.
No Application, No Vouching, No Reapplication: Founder status is recognised instantly—skip all forms, voting, and quarterly vibe checks.
What Founder Members Get in the Accelerator
24/7 Workspace & Amenities Use all Zo House co-working zones, studios, meeting rooms, game lounges, and amenities in every city.
All-Access Events: Free, priority entry to every Zo Accelerator event—hackathons, workshops, Demo Days, founder dinners, mentorship sessions, and more.
Mentorship & Office Hours: Weekly or on-demand sessions with top-tier mentors, operators, and fellow founders—participate in person or virtually.
Global Community Sync: Collaborate across Zo nodes, join founder group chats, city ops, and private network channels.
Host, Lead, or Launch: Propose and run your own accelerator tracks, side events, or pop-ups—Founder Members have priority to shape the program.
10% Discount on Zo World Products & Stays: Applies to rooms, events, merch, and services globally.
