Professionals building startups
People with day jobs who are validating ideas and shipping product after hours — not waiting to quit before they start.
Camp Zero
Camp Zero runs E-Residence — a paid digital residency for people building startups, side hustles, and meaningful ideas without quitting their jobs. Private feed, workshops, accountability, meetups, and real peers. Built so you are not stuck alone between noisy feeds and silent group chats.
In plain language
Camp Zero is where ambitious professionals move in together online while they still have day jobs. Members are residents. An e-residence means a membership community you live in: share unfinished work, learn together, stay accountable — like a physical residency, but digital. Paid on purpose, so the room stays serious.
Starting something new is hard in ways that don’t show on a spreadsheet.
Why we exist
Free communities go quiet. Public social media rewards finished highlight reels. Courses pile up without changing what you ship this week. Building after work can feel lonely — friends may not get it, colleagues may not share the ambition, and you end up assembling Slack, Notion, and Discord alone.
Camp Zero exists to make that life easier: one membership that combines community, learning, accountability, and introductions — so ambitious professionals spend less time assembling tools and more time improving the work with people who get evenings and weekends.
A standing room of builders, not a one-off webinar you forget by Thursday.
Tear down drafts while change is still cheap — before expensive polish.
Workshops and challenges give structure without another abandoned habit tracker.
Matching and rooms replace cold DMs with people already in the house.
Who it’s for
You do not need to quit tomorrow or raise venture capital. You need consistent progress and peers who understand evenings and weekends. Poor fit if you only want to lurk or promote without contributing.

People with day jobs who are validating ideas and shipping product after hours — not waiting to quit before they start.

Operators spending evenings and weekends on a second income stream, offer, or business — who want peers that get the tradeoff.

Builders shipping tools, automations, and products in public who want feedback and accountability from people doing the same.
04
Creators building businesses and freelancers growing into agencies or products — turning craft into something that scales.
Inside E-Residence
One membership unlocks the full community platform. Each surface exists to remove friction from an after-hours builder’s week.
A private social feed where residents post launches, failures, lessons, and asks. Build logs keep a record of the work — so feedback arrives while ideas are still easy to change.
Practical sessions on pricing, shipping, marketing, and founder craft — join live inside the platform, or watch the recording later the same week.
Time-boxed challenges that give the house a shared clock. Useful when motivation alone is not enough to finish.
Meetups and sessions in one calendar so you are not hunting invite links across five group chats.
Tools to find residents at a similar stage, then continue in DMs and rooms — collaborators on purpose, not cold outreach.
Present projects and products to the residency and collect real reactions from people who ship.
Resident deals, house news briefings, and stated discounts on Camp Zero programmes.
Invite builders you trust so the room stays high-signal as it grows.

An e-residence (electronic or digital residency) is a membership community you “live” in online: you show up regularly, share unfinished work, learn together, and stay accountable with the same people — similar to a physical residency, but digital.
No. Most residents still have jobs or freelance work. Camp Zero is designed for evenings, weekends, and spare moments — the reality of how many businesses actually start.
No. It is for professionals across products, services, creative businesses, AI builds, and early companies. The common thread is consistent progress and wanting peers who get after-hours building.
LinkedIn rewards polish; most Discords go quiet. Camp Zero is a paid residency with structured learning, challenges, matching, and a feed built for unfinished work — so the room stays serious and useful.
