What is a Dragon

Not a mentor.
Something more powerful.

Not a mentor.
Something more powerful.

A Net-0 Dragon is an elite operator, Founder, or investor who chooses to embed themselves inside our network — not as a name on a website, but as an active, accountable presence in the lives of the builders inside it.

Dragons attend virtual sessions. They choose to provide capital, strategic access, and lived experience. They are selected by application, reviewed annually, and held to a standard most networks never demand. In return, they get first access to the most exceptional founder pipeline in the world.

What Dragons bring

Three pillars of Dragon commitment.

Three pillars of Dragon commitment.

I.

Capital

Dragons commit to a defined deployment window — from seed cheques to co-investment in portfolio companies. No passive placeholders. Every Dragon has a capital mandate within the network.

II.

Intelligence

Their lived experience is the asset. Pattern recognition built from building, failing, scaling, and exiting. Dragons share what no textbook captures — the real operating knowledge of building a company under pressure.

III.

Access

A Dragon’s network becomes the founder’s network. Warm introductions to institutional investors, strategic partners, first customers, and government bodies. Doors that would otherwise take years to reach.

Virtual programming

Dragon Sessions. Monthly. Live. Unfiltered.

Monthly Session

Dragon Office Hours

Founders book 1-on-1 time directly with a Dragon of their choosing. 30-minute focused sessions on their most urgent challenge — fundraising, product, hiring, or strategy. No agenda required, no paperwork, just a real conversation.

Quarterly Event

The Dragon Roundtable

All Dragons and senior Net-0 founders join a live virtual roundtable hosted by the Net-0 team. Guest moderators, thematic deep dives, and cross-sector intelligence sharing across the full network.

Live Broadcast

Dragon Fire: Live Pitches

Founders pitch live to a panel of Dragons in a virtual event open to the full Net-0 membership. Dragons ask hard questions, provide real-time feedback, and signal investment interest live on screen.

Annual Summit

Net-0 Dragons Summit 2027

The full Dragon cohort convenes in person for a 3-day summit. Deal flow sessions, portfolio reviews, new Dragon onboarding, and the Net-0 Dragons Dinner — considered the most exclusive gathering in the network.
