About
About Faster Zebra
Building things that build you back.
Faster Zebra is for people doing the work that matters to them. Starting something of your own, sharpening a brand, rethinking how you work, and being changed by the building.
It comes from over three decades of building ventures and the occasional beautiful failure, distilled into tools you can use and a room to use them in. Kits to do the work. A community to do it alongside people at every stage.
The name
Why Faster? Why Zebra?
Faster.
"If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."
Attributed, possibly misattributed, to Henry Ford. We build what's needed, ahead of what's expected.
Zebra.
A new kind of builder.
A zebra is profitable, sustainable, purpose-led and real, and works in a herd. Unicorns chase valuations. Zebras solve real problems and last.
What we believe
Three realms of you: Mind, Skills and Soul.
Nothing you build lasts longer than the thinking behind it. Faster Zebra works across three realms, because the person doing the building is part of the work.
Mind
Self-knowledge and hard-won founder truths. Knowing who is doing the building before you decide what to build.
Skills
The outside work. Ventures, brands, innovation and design, with the frameworks that take an idea into the world.
Soul
What endures. Creative practice, values that cost something, and the reason you keep making things.
How it works
Tools you use, rather than courses you watch.
Every Kit is two parts: a Playbook for the thinking and the moves, and a Workbook where you do the work. Both printed and posted to you, yours to keep. $97, with free shipping to Australia, the UK and the USA.
The teaching that a course would carry happens live, in the community. A Kit is the door in. Once you are through it, the weekly rhythm and the room open to you, alongside builders at every stage, where you grow from strong in one discipline to powerful across many. As you build something, it builds you back.

Faster Zebra is the distillation of one builder's life's work, handed forward.
