About
Talent in Kazakhstan and Central Asia isn't the problem. Access is.
Why it exists
There are brilliant developers, designers, and marketers across the region. What's missing is a place that takes them from a raw idea to a product the world can use — and connects them to the capital and the programs that turn a project into a company.
Most programs keep building private. Here you build in public — you ship a product for the world and film the journey while you do it. The hardest part of a startup isn't writing the product; it's getting anyone to care. Build out loud, and they care early.
Then the ten strongest teams move into one house in Almaty for two weeks and build. By Demo Day, you don't have a slide deck — you have a working product, real users, and warm introductions to investors and the world's top accelerators. Zero House isn't a school. It's a launchpad.
01 / Investly Hub
Co-organizer of Zero House — investors and operators backing the cohort hands-on, from first day to the room at Demo Day. Full profile lands before open call closes.
02 / 0house.vc
Co-organizer of Zero House. The build-in-public playbook the program runs on comes from this side of the table. Full profile lands before open call closes.
How we're different
Buildspace, Founders Inc, HF0 — the formats we look up to. We're not copying. We're translating the idea for Central Asia.
Most local programs keep it private. We make you build in public — real users and real reach beat weeks of slides.
English B2+ keeps the cohort wired into the global builder community from day one.
The best teams get a launchpad, not a logo on a deck — investor intros after Demo Day, help into top international accelerators, and hands-on operating time from the organizers.
Program length — one week remote, then two in the house.
Finalist teams move into the Hacker House in Almaty for two weeks.
All we take — and only from the 10 house teams, only if you raise investment.
Investor intros + help into top accelerators, plus a sponsor grant.
