The Problem Every Scaling Founder Knows

TLDR:

"If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to far, go together"

I learned this lesson the hard way.

📌 It was pretty obvious on hindsight, but when it's 11pm, and you are putting out the 11th fire of the day, you don't realize how much time is wasted on firefighting.

Here's what I didn't realize at the time:

By solving all of my teams problems for them (putting out fires), I become the single highest paid administrative assistant, marketing manager, salesperson, HR personel, compliance officer...etc.

Imagine doing this 9 hours a day, 6 days a week for 5 years straight. That took a toll on my body and mind. It's no wonder I'm constantly feeling overwhelmed, overworked, tired and burnt out.

My reality after joining free communities to "network":

• I was stuck at $500k revenue for the past 16 months, and fighting every fire my team throws at me.

• I identified that one reason why my team cannot operate autonomously without me is because we don't practice monthly P&L reporting, so my team cannot "own results".

• I was desperate for solutions, so I posted questions in 6 founder telegram groups on how to solve this problem.

• I got 47 generic responses from people who'd never operated at my scale. (which I didn't understand back then how important this is.)

• I got tons of pitches from salespeople lurking in the free group saying that they have "figured it out" when they are not even business owners (which I later understood as well).

• I spent way too much time comparing quotes, and getting frustrated beacuase it's usually not an an apples-to-apples comparison.

• I ended up hiring 1 consultant who helped me to setup the bare minimum

The result?

1. Wasted time (157 hours to be exact - on discovery calls, onboarding and follow-ups)

2. Wasted money (1 consultants worth of fees)

3. Wasted energy (Energy that could be used to build my business, coach my leaders....etc )

The Lesson?

"Your network is your networth."

📌 If I had cultivated the habit of networking earlier, I would probably have met founders who already have the solutions to my problems, and they would only be one phone call away. However I also now know that networking is also a massive waste of time and energy if done incorrectly, and part of the reasons why it's so hard to get it right is because the type of people you meet in a networking event is vast and varied.

• What if... it was more focused?

• What if... it was more strategic?

• What if... you already knew someone on the inside that will hook you up to the right people that will catapault your business forward?

Imagine how much time, energy and money you would save. How much is this convenience worth to you?

That's why we've decided to create the Zero Dawn Entrpreneurs Circle.

What's inside?

📌 4 simple, but highly effective features and benefits for seasoned entrepreneurs and world-class operators to succeed.

Focused Networking

"I wasted 18 months attending networking events. Met 200+ people. Got 47 LinkedIn connections. Found exactly zero people who could actually help me scale my business."

Sounds familiar? Yeah I know the pain...

• The Problem: You spend 3 hours at a "premium networking event." Hand out 15 business cards. Listen to 8 people pitch their "revolutionary" ideas. Meet 2 service providers who want to sell you something. Have zero meaningful conversations about real scaling challenges. You leave frustrated, wondering why successful founders seem so hard to find.

• Here's What Actually Happens: Most networking events are full of First-time founders still validating their ideas, Service providers hunting for clients, "Serial entrepreneurs" with no successful exits, People who talk about disrupting industries but have never built one.

• What Zero Dawn Members Get Instead: Zero Dawn connects you exclusively with seasoned founders who have track records of building and scaling companies. Every member has been personally vetted for business results and genuine value-add capability.

The Zero Dawn Difference:

• Proven Track Records → Only founders and ex-founders with documented business successes.

• Complementary Expertise → Access skills and knowledge gaps in your experience

• Strategic Partnerships → Real collaboration opportunities, not just coffee chats

• Global Perspective → Founder community with international expansion experience

Worth: Depends. Could be priceless if you find your next co-founder, strategic partner, or key hire. Could be worthless if you don't actively engage with proven founders.

Strategic Introductions & Whitelisted Partner Matching

"I need a technical co-founder who understands fintech compliance."

"I'm looking for someone who's scaled manufacturing in Thailand."

"I need a marketing partner who's actually built a brand, not just talks about it."

The Problem Every Founder Faces:

You know exactly what expertise you need. You post in founder groups, ask your network, scroll LinkedIn for hours. You get 20 suggestions of people who "might be good" but no one who's actually solved your specific problem. Three months later, you're still looking while your competition moves ahead.

The Zero Dawn Difference:

"I told Kenric I needed to meet with private bankers in Singapore for my Ultra-High Net Worth Clients who are politicially exposed persons. Within 48 hours, I was on a call with private bankers from DBS Private Bank and OCBC Premier/Private Bank who are experts in managing wealth portfolios for the island's ultra-rich. They walked me through their entire onboarding process for foreign wealth owners, compliance framework, how they serve their clients on a daily basis. We ended up signing a corporate partnership with them in less than 2 weeks. This would not have happened so quickly without Kenric's help."

- Harsh Patel., CEO of Water & Shark

How Strategic Introductions Work:

• Tell us your specific expertise gap or partnership need

• Get matched with members who've solved that exact problem

• Receive proper introduction with context and mutual value proposition

• Skip months of searching and start executing immediately

Four Core Functions Covered:

• Sales & Marketing → Revenue generation and customer acquisition specialists

• Finance & Admin → Legal, accounting, and compliance experts

• Operations → Technology, manufacturing, and process optimization providers

• Management → Leadership development and team building specialists

The Matching Process: Based on complementary needs and proven expertise, not random networking or hopeful connections.

Worth: Depends. Could be priceless if you find the right technical partner, regional expert, or strategic advisor. Could be worthless if you don't have specific needs or won't act on introductions.

Resource Sharing

"I needed a solid founder agreement template for bringing on a technical co-founder. Spent weeks googling 'founder agreement templates' and found hundreds of generic documents. Paid a lawyer $3,500 to review one, only to discover it was missing critical clauses that could have destroyed my business later. Turns out most 'templates' online are either incomplete or written for situations that don't match real startup needs."

Sounds familiar? Yeah, been there and done that...

• The Problem: You need proven business documents and frameworks, but most online resources are generic templates created by people who've never used them in real business situations. You waste time adapting documents that are missing critical components, or worse, contain clauses that could hurt your business.

• Here's What Actually Happens: Most "business templates" are created by content marketers, not operators. Legal documents written for different jurisdictions. Financial models that look sophisticated but break when you input real numbers. Templates that have never been stress-tested in actual business situations.

• What Zero Dawn Resource Sharing Delivers Instead: Access to battle-tested documents, frameworks, and templates that successful members and whitelisted partners that have actually used to build and scale their businesses. Every resource comes with context about how it was used and what results it generated.

The Zero Dawn Resource Sharing Difference:

• Battle-Tested Documents → Templates and frameworks used by successful members in real business situations, not generic downloads

• Proven Results → Resources that have generated measurable outcomes for businesses at scale, not theoretical models

• Context & Usage Notes → Understanding of when and how to apply each resource, not just raw documents

• Member Validation → Direct access to founders who created or used the resources for implementation guidance

Worth: Depends. Could be priceless if you get the exact framework that saves you months of development time or prevents costly legal mistakes. Could be worthless if you don't implement the proven systems and processes.
