Innovators build what's needed, ahead of what's expected.
You don't think your way into who you become. You build your way there.
The Village
A room of people building alongside you.
Information is everywhere. A room of real people who help you build the thing, and become the person who can, is rare. That's the Village. Founders, operators and professionals, from the just-starting to the thirty-years-in, learning across generations on real work, four seasons a year.

How you grow
Mind. Skills. Soul. Make.
Three realms of you, and the one act that sets them in motion.
MindHow you see, frame, judge and choose.Enter the Mind realm →SkillsHow you research, sell, build and operate.Enter the Skills realm →SoulWho you are, and who you become through the work.Enter the Soul realm →

Make
The act that ties the three together. You bring all three to something real, reality answers, and you come back sharper. That's the loop. As you build something, it builds you back.
The Neupreneur Era
A school of business teaches business. We make you multilingual in it.
Depth in one discipline used to be enough. Now the edge belongs to the people who can hold several at once and move between them. A Neupreneur: commercially multilingual, AI-native and human-centred, able to turn possibility into value.

You don't master all nine. You get fluent enough to see the whole, ask better questions, make the call, and orchestrate specialists and AI. Information can be downloaded. This has to be lived.

THE NAME
Why Faster? Why Zebra?
Faster.
“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”
Zebra.
A new founder mindset. Unicorns chase valuations. Zebras solve real problems.
Zebras build profitable, sustainable, purpose-led businesses. They work in herds, not alone.
They're real. So is the Village.

For teams
Bring the making into your team's week.
Facilitated sessions where your people work a live business challenge they own, using the same methods our members use on real work.
The capability gets built inside your real work, so it holds after the room clears. Your team leaves with a business challenge moved forward and a capability they keep.

From people in the work
The people who've already been inside.
Charbel and FZ coached us through a complete CX coaching program and rebuild, working alongside our team the whole way. The lasting win is a team that can sustain the growth on its own.
This helped me lift my career to another level. Great knowledge and technique, and it helped me grow as a solution finder. Love the passion and energy from Charbel.
I came here to learn a range of skills, and I ended up learning about myself and life lessons. It went well beyond what I expected.
An amazing leader and teacher. Charbel brings warmth and a wealth of knowledge, and when mentoring he captivates your mind, always leaving you wanting to learn more.
Charbel and Faster Zebra coached our team through six major ventures, embedding a new cadence of innovation. We now build and launch at speed, independently.
His enthusiasm for people is contagious. He has deep experience to draw on and always has something current to share. You'll get more than you bargained for with Charbel.
Good things come to those who make.
