About GridZero Inc.
.
Founder/President/CEO Peter Ortmann shares more about GridZero's history and vision.
GridZero Inc. is a privately held venture development firm based in Las Vegas, Nevada, wholly owned by AngelPreneur
Venture Group (APVG). Both were founded by Peter “The AngelPreneur” Ortmann, 70, also known as The Shark by some business associates.
Originally launched to provide consulting services for estate owners and business clients seeking off-grid living, alternative energy, micro-farming, or water generation systems, However, our Founder believes that if you are going to think - think big! With that in mind we have changed our overall focus.
After years of development, we’ve restructured GridZero to focus on launching and providing all our companies with corporate services, and managing the AngelPreneur Impact Fund LLC (Impact Fund), and its five stand-alone companies - each designed to make a positive social impact. Our goal is to self-fund, launch, and grow them through ClubZERO Rewards (ClubZERO) - the self-funding engine for what we call The Mother of All Integrated Impact Business ECO-System models. We plan to build ClubZERO into a dividend paying public company through a direct listing onto the Nasdaq stock exchange in 2028.
Our Proposed GridZero Resilience Innovation Park (GRIP)
The GridZero Resilience Innovation Park (GRIP) is a proposed Las Vegas campus-scale business park and manufacturing site being designed to demonstrate real, operating solutions to the critical infrastructure challenges facing cities and regions throughout North America.
Set on 80 to 100 acres of land, it will become home to our proposed AngelPreneur Impact Fund and related companies under a private/public partnership estimated to cost over $400 million to fully build out by 2030.
ClubZERO Rewards - Our Self-Funding Strategy
To self-fund our mission without relying exclusively on traditional outside investors, our Founder developed the ClubZERO membership-based self-funding model.
ClubZERO members contribute monthly dues designed to help self-fund the Impact Fund and its five companies.
In exchange for 35% equity. Members will receive ClubZERO Reward Credits in the form of BitZERO$ - the virtual club currency, monthly in amounts based on their membership level, to redeem for travel, and merchandise in the online store. Members can opt into our membership referral Affiliate Program to earn an added income monthly to help them meet financial challenges. ClubZERO is a win-win model designed to build businesses while rewarding members long-term. It redefines what it means to be part of a true entrepreneurial startup community.
Leadership and Vision
As the GridZero’s portfolio grows, The Shark plans to hire a dedicated President to oversee the daily operations while he remains CEO and drives the overall vision forward. This will allow him to focus on producing his reality web series, The AngelPreneur: Building The Dream in Real Time, that will showcase our companies. His series will share the real-world challenges and milestones behind launching real ventures and projects within Nevada, California and Hawaii.
Looking Ahead
2025 marks a critical year for GridZero—one filled with big plans, bold moves, restructuring and refining of projects with meaningful progress. We’re now actively preparing to build the management teams of our portfolio companies and ramp up to launch our companies by early 2026.
