As a repeat founder, you’ve had success in the past. Now you’re: - angel investing - advising - getting invited to speak at conferences - have a husband/wife/fiance - a thriving social life ...but you know that wasn’t the recipe that made your first startup successful. (2/5)

What if you could press a button to subtract every distraction from your life for 12 weeks and go all in on your next startup? That’s HF0. (3/5)

It’s the community for technical repeat founders. 2500 teams apply. We only accept ~10. The first founder accepted into the batch was CTO of a startup that IPO'd at $2B. Three teams in the current batch had $1M+ ARR coming in. One team already raised $20M. Another $10M. (4/5)
