Your first build
Apply for access
ZB Stack opens by application. Tell us what you want to build, and a person tells you which models your program sponsors, and for how long.
How to apply
Go to zbstack.xyz/apply and tell us about what you want to build. There is no wrong answer. A founder with a first idea, a developer with an agent, a company with a project and a government with a national plan all start on the same form.
Write it the way you would explain it to a friend:
- What you want to build, or what you want your business to do next.
- Who it is for.
- Anything you already have: a site, a product list, a brand, customers.

Your workspace opens
You get a workspace for your business, with your AI team in it. Your first step there is to describe what you want to build.
Programs and sponsored models
A program is the set of sponsored models you may use, and for how long. Sponsored models are funded by the partners of the Zero Build Foundation: AI labs, cloud providers and corporations. Work on a sponsored model costs you nothing.
Each program sets its own length, and you know it before you start. When a program ends, your business keeps running, and every task is billed at the model's own price plus 5%. See Sponsored models.
