Zer0 to 5ive Turns 20! And, Got a Really Great Surprise

By Michelle Pujadas, Founder & co-CEO

Wow! We made it! 20 years, nearly 200 clients, a body of work, peer and client recognition, a whole lot of fun, and many bottles of champagne to celebrate over the years. I appreciate all who have been a part of our journey, and especially those who are still on the road with us.

The 0to5 team, along with some willing co-conspirators, made this video surprise for us – and I LOVE IT!! Thank you all!!

What’s next for Zer0 to 5ive? A lot. Today we announced 0to5 Launch™, a new service for pre-product tech and biotech companies. Our work with seed-stage and early-stage entrepreneurs has put a premium on this new service, designed to help young companies raise money and attract talent. We have a few other announcements that will be coming out around this topic over the coming months, so stay tuned.

We’re also celebrating our anniversary year with sponsorships of Philly Startup Leaders’ PHL Innovation Picnic on June 27th and the PACT Capital Conference, PACTCAPCON 2019, on September 26th – we hope to see you there!

Last but not least, I’m hoping to get one of my long-term goals – writing a marketing book – at least started this year. We started identifying core go-to-market activities that would increase the opportunity for success 20 years ago with our Zer0 to 5ive Roadmap™. Beyond that, there is an interesting balance of funding, burn rate, product development, market readiness, and that all-important first successful client, among other things. I’ll be soliciting some advice to entrepreneurs and lessons learned from the broader tech community, so would love to hear your thoughts! Feel free to email me your contribution: michelle@0to5.com.
