Zero Revenue Club

Zero Revenue Club is a public directory for launched products that are still at $0 lifetime revenue. It is designed for solo founders, indie makers and builders, and founders of products that have launched but have not yet earned their first dollar. It also gives curious visitors a public way to follow early-stage products and see how long they remain in this stage.\n\nThe central idea is straightforward: a product can be live, useful, and actively maintained while revenue is still zero. Zero Revenue Club gives that phase a clear public profile instead of treating it as an invisible gap. A founder can submit a startup listing, provide its public website, and track the date from which the product is at $0. The listing becomes part of a public directory intended for launched products, not an announcement of revenue, customer numbers, awards, or financial performance.\n\nActive listings are ranked by how long they have stayed at $0. This ranking gives the directory its main organizing system. It lets visitors browse products by the length of their zero-revenue journey and discover other makers working through the same early stage. The ranking is based on the product's time at $0, so it does not require inventing traction claims or comparing founders by unverified metrics.\n\nZero Revenue Club also preserves the next milestone. When a startup earns its first dollar, it moves from the active $0 stage to Graduates while keeping its public profile. That means the original journey remains visible as part of the product's history rather than disappearing when the revenue status changes. The directory can therefore represent both products that are still at $0 and products that have moved beyond that stage.\n\nThe service is free. Its public pages are available at https://zerorevenue.club. Visitors can read startup profiles and explore the directory; founders can use the listing workflow to represent a launched product at the beginning of its revenue journey. The product does not need a made-up category such as AI or developer tooling to be understood: its focus is the shared experience of launching before the first dollar.\n\nZero Revenue Club is maintained by Hien Nguyen Trong, publicly known as tronghiendev. It is built as a focused web product with a public directory, startup listing submission, $0 start-date tracking, active ranking by time at $0, public startup profiles, and Graduate profiles after first revenue. These features keep the experience centered on honest status, a discoverable profile, and a simple milestone.\n\nFor founders, the value is a clear place to record and share the earliest stage of a launched product. For visitors, the value is a directory of products whose public status can change over time. For the wider maker community, the directory creates a common reference point for products that are launched, maintained, and still waiting for their first revenue. Zero Revenue Club is a free home for that stage of the journey.
