Innovators build what's needed, ahead of what's expected.
Stepping into something new reshapes who you are in the process.
The Village
A room of people building alongside you.
Information is everywhere now. What's rare is a room of real people who help you build the thing, and become the person who builds. That's the Village. A living room of founders, makers and operators, from the just-starting to the two-decades-in, learning from each other four seasons a year.
Four live calls a week

Four seasons a year. Each one takes you somewhere.
Make it realGet from an idea, or the search for one, to something real.
Say it wellMake people understand what you've built.
Make it workFree your time for the work that only you can do.
Make it matterReconnect to why you build, so you keep going.
The first season opens September 2026. Join it and you're a founding member: your rate stays $4,950 a year for as long as you're in the room, while everyone who joins later pays more.

What we do
Three realms of you.
Nothing you make lasts longer than the thinking behind it. Faster Zebra works across three realms. Mind for the inside. Skills for the outside. Soul for what endures.
Mind
The inner compass. Self-knowledge, and hard-won founder truths. The work of knowing who's doing the work before you decide what to make.
Skills
The outside work. Kits for founders, brand makers, innovators, and designers. The frameworks and the weekly rhythm that take an idea into the world.
Soul
What endures. Creative practice. Values that cost something. The reason you keep making things when the spreadsheet says you shouldn't.
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 are we: the community.
ON THE HORIZON
More Kits, coming soon.
Brand, mindset, and experience design. Same shape every time. One price. All yours.

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.
