GTM
Alex Rivera
Founder & Managing Director
Former growth lead at two AI startups. Built Zerobase after watching every quote jump the week a round was announced.
We started as operators inside technical startups, buying media and running creators ourselves. Two things kept happening. Agencies could never move as fast as we needed, because they were staffed for last quarter's clients. And every quote we received went up the week our funding was announced.
So we built something else: a network of thousands of independent professionals who can be activated by the hundred, and a buying model that keeps our clients' names out of the negotiation. The scale of a large agency, the rates of a freelancer, and the transparency of a spreadsheet.
What we believe
Output over headcount.
You should pay for what ships, not for who's on the bench.
Rates should not depend on your logo.
Every client pays what the inventory is worth.
Transparency is non-negotiable.
Vendor invoices, margins and savings are shown on every bill.
Compliance is a feature.
Disclosed ads and real engagement outperform the alternatives anyway.
Confidentiality both ways.
We don't use your name; the network doesn't learn it until it must.
