What founders are saying
"I thought I needed $15K to launch. Zero2Built showed me I was already $40K short before I'd spent a dollar. That conversation saved me from a serious mistake."
— Founder, Tech Startup · United States
"The first 10 customers roadmap alone was worth it. Specific communities, specific opening lines — not generic advice. I had my first client within two weeks."
— Founder, Service Business · United Kingdom
"Every other tool gave me a generic business plan template. Zero2Built actually understood my specific situation and told me things I didn't want to hear but needed to know."
— Founder, Nonprofit · Canada

Stage 2 · Business Type
What kind of business are you building?
Your business type shapes everything — your costs, your team, your marketing approach, and your funding options. Every category gets a completely different estimate and plan.
📋 Nonprofit note: Nonprofits have unique startup costs — IRS 501(c)3 filing fees ($275–$600), state registration, board formation, and grant infrastructure setup. Your estimate will reflect these specific costs instead of typical business expenses.
⚠ Financial product note: Building financial products carries significant compliance costs — state money transmitter licenses, anti-money laundering and know-your-customer requirements, and potential banking partnerships. Budget an additional $15,000–$50,000+ for legal and compliance work before writing a line of code.
Stage 3 · Team & Skills
What can you do yourself right now?
This is where most founders get the math wrong. What you can build versus what you need to hire for changes your total cost range dramatically. Be honest here.
Tell us about your team and location.
For your type of business the big cost variables are who you have with you and where you are building. These two answers shape your entire estimate.

The Institutional Edge Playbook
Who this is for: Founders selling to businesses, institutions, banks, credit unions, corporations, educational organizations, and enterprise buyers — not consumer apps or local retail businesses.
Getting your first enterprise client is completely different from getting a consumer customer. Enterprise buyers move slowly, have procurement processes, require pilots, and need to trust you before they write a check. Most founders lose months pitching the wrong people the wrong way — using the wrong language, approaching the wrong decision makers, and pricing their pilots incorrectly. This playbook cuts that learning curve down to weeks.
How to identify and prioritize your first 10 enterprise targets using specific criteria
Cold outreach templates that actually get responses from institutional decision makers
How to structure and price a pilot agreement that gets a yes from procurement
The discovery call framework that moves enterprise deals forward
Objection handling for the most common enterprise pushbacks
30-day business development content calendar for Threads and LinkedIn
Investor narrative structure built specifically for enterprise startups
Built by a founder who has personally navigated enterprise business development with financial institutions, community banks, credit unions, educational organizations, and consumer-facing brands — not a consultant who read about it in a book.
One enterprise client paying $25,000–$100,000+ changes everything. This playbook costs $67.
