Welcome to The Zero to One

๐Ÿš€ Welcome!

Welcome to The Zero to One community. I canโ€™t wait for you to take-off together with our amazing community of founders, entrepreneurs, and investors!

This newsletter exists to:

  • ๐Ÿš€ Help you launch and grow your idea into a profitable business.

  • ๐Ÿ“ฐ Keep you up to date with all things startups and being a founder.

  • ๐Ÿ‘ฏโ€โ™‚๏ธ Connect Founders, VCs, and the rest of the startup ecosystem.

All in ten minutes or less, twice a week (but donโ€™t be surprised if we sneak an extra edition in your inbox from time to time).

  • Tuesdays: I compile a list of tools, resources, and interesting lessons from those whoโ€™ve done it for you to take advantage of.

  • Thursday: I spend 25+ hours reverse engineering high-growth startups, giving you a deep dive on their journey, key insights, and actionable steps you can take to replicate their success.

Why I started The Zero to One:

The simple answer is that I love startups and I love learning.

I was anyways spending hours everyday reading articles, watching videos, speaking to people in the ecosystem, helping businesses go from Zero to One, and trying to launch my own startups.

But in doing this, all the reasons I listed earlier as to why this newsletter exists, were/are my own pain points.

  • ๐Ÿ’ก I have had many failed (or never seen the light of day) ideas.

  • ๐Ÿ“ I used to be, and often still am overwhelmed keeping up to date with opportunities, news, talks, articles, resources, tools, frameworks, and everything else that eases being a founder.

  • ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ It was often a lonely journey. I struggled to find a community that I related with and which inspired.

But the biggest reason why I started this newsletter is because I want to play my part in enabling a thriving startup ecosystem.

So expect me to ask for your feedback and help on how I can do that better through this newsletter and any other future ventures.

I will also be documenting my journey on LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube (to come), and TikTok (to come). So if youโ€™re interested in the behind the scenes of growing a newsletter, then I would appreciate you check me out over there.

Speak soon. For now: Get ready for lift off!

Your new friend,

Sheldon
