PHILADELPHIA, May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Zer0 to 5ive, an award-winning strategic communications firm specializing in technology and biotech companies, turned 20 today, and to celebrate launched a new startup package, 0to5 Launch, to provide seed-stage and early-stage tech and biotech entrepreneurs with the foundational tools they need – pre-product – to attract talent and investors.
"We launched our Zer0 to 5ive Roadmap™ 20 years ago for early-stage tech companies that needed a go-to-market plan and market launch preparation. With the addition of 0to5 Launch, we can better serve seed-stage companies, and those that are seeking their first round of funding. 0to5 Launch focuses less on the product and go-to-market strategy and more on the core tools that entrepreneurs need right out of the gate," said Michelle Pujadas, Zer0 to 5ive's Founder and co-CEO. "The early years are some of the most exciting times for a company, and a time when firms like Zer0 to 5ive can have the most impact. This new service reflects our roots in early-stage ventures, and is in response to the growing number of requests we've seen over the past 12 months from entrepreneurs who need to attract funding and talent."
Since its founding, Zer0 to 5ive has worked with more than 175 technology companies across a wide range of vertical markets, building specific expertise in edtech, fintech, big data, artificial intelligence, life sciences, and medical devices and diagnostics. More than half of those have been early-stage companies looking to build their brand, visibility and market share.
The full 0to5 Launch package includes core foundational items that can be completed in as little as four to five months. The 0to5 Launch package is customizable and, in specific cases, can be completed in exchange for equity.
