A venture studio defined by how it views founder development and company formation.
Zero Vector Philippines is the Philippines arm of the U.S.-based venture studio Zero Vector Ventures.
The core beliefs that drive how we build.
These are the beliefs that shape every decision our studio makes.
- B-01Judgment is the scarce resource.
Having the judgment to know what to build, when to build, when to stop building, and if you should build at all is rare.
- B-02Founder capability is observable.
We assess behavior under real conditions, not through credentials or pitches.
- B-03Evidence earns formation.
Companies should be formed only when the evidence supports formation.
- B-04Killing early is a feature.
Early stage gates exist to prevent weak opportunities from consuming the studio's capital, time, and resources that should go to higher-potential opportunities.
- B-05Plain language beats theater.
We write to be understood, reviewed, and corrected, not to impress.
- B-06Honest feedback compounds.
Capability grows when work is defended, and perspectives are revised based on evidence.
The work is the craft.
We treat our work as a craft worth mastering.
We see the work we do as our craft, and therefore, we take it extremely seriously and spend every day working to master it.
