💡 What We’re Building

ClubZERO Rewards is more than a rewards program — it’s a member-powered platform that self-funds 7 real startups incubated under the GridZero Venture Fund.

Your contribution will support:

  • The development of our integrated membership platform, benefits and admin teams

  • Recruitment of our 100 influential Founding Members who will launch the club

  • Setup of our Affiliate referral income tracking and payment system integration

  • Complete the development of our CZR Token & Reward Credits infrastructure

  • Production of "The AngelPreneur" web series documenting the business

CZR Tokens are virtual loyalty-based units (not securities) acquired monthly and in other ways by members throughout their membership term. These CZR Tokens are used to determine their revenue sharing income values. That value translates dollar-for-dollar into Reward Credits members can redeem for merchandise, travel, and more — while they remain active.

🎁 Membership That Pays You Back

As a contributor you get immediate benefits — including free Silver ClubZERO membership just for contributing the minimum of $25. Paid membership package contributions (Gold $35/mo & Business $85/mo) unlock deeper participation, value and access as follows:

Exclusive ClubZERO Benefits:

  • Passive income via affiliate commissions for member referrals via social media or other platforms

  • Monthly CZR Tokens → that convert to Reward Credits (dollar-for-dollar) for travel or merchandise

  • Pre-IPO equity access in our planned SEC Regulation CF offering (early 2026)

  • Revenue-sharing in 7 startup ventures and ClubZERO itself (via Reward Credits)

  • Access to exclusive venture crowdfunding campaigns to acquire additional CZR Tokens

  • Future access to ClubZERO group health, dental & vision plans (for paying members)

🔥 Why ClubZERO Is Different

ClubZERO is community-first and self-funded venture-strategy backed by people, not VCs. We don’t hype “get-rich-quick” schemes. We build real startups, and reward participation with real, non-cash value:

  • Funded mainly by member dues, not venture capitalist or outside investors

  • Rewards are redeemable, not speculative providing real value

  • Equity available only through a future SEC Regulation CF public equity offering

  • 100% transparent via The AngelPreneur: Building the Dream in Real Time web series

Our 100 max Founding Member Affiliates will launch ClubZERO to over 25M+ followers across social media and other online platforms — starting October 1, 2025, in addition to all contributors to this Campaign.
