Zero Revenue Club is a public directory for launched products that have not yet made their first dollar. It gives solo founders and indie makers a place to submit a product, track time since its start date at $0, and share a public profile. The project is built around a simple, transparent milestone: what happens before the first revenue.
Founders can use Zero Revenue Club as a public home for a launched product and its current zero-revenue status. A submission creates a startup listing with the product name, website, description, and launch information. The directory keeps the focus on products that are already launched but remain at $0 lifetime revenue. It is not a marketplace, and it does not present a pre-revenue product as an established business.
The directory includes public startup profiles and a ranking for products by the time they have remained at $0. Visitors can browse products at the same stage, discover what independent builders are making, and follow their progress over time. When a listed product reaches its first revenue, it can graduate to the Graduates section. The Graduates behavior records the transition instead of leaving a product in the pre-revenue group after its milestone has changed.
Zero Revenue Club is designed for solo founders, indie makers and builders, founders of launched products at $0 lifetime revenue, and curious visitors. The product is free forever for listings. The website is zerorevenue.club. The project is maintained by Hien Nguyen Trong, also known publicly as tronghiendev.
The directory is deliberately lightweight. It provides a public directory, a startup listing submission flow, $0 start-date tracking, an active ranking based on time at $0, public profiles, and graduate profiles after first revenue. These features support a straightforward workflow: launch a product, record its starting point, keep the public information accurate, and update the profile when the product changes.
For a founder, the value is visibility and context rather than a promise of growth. A listing can explain what the product is and give visitors a place to learn more. For visitors, the directory is a way to explore products before their first dollar and see which products have graduated. The public profiles keep the product name, website and description together, so the directory can be browsed as a collection of real launched projects.
The project also makes an early stage visible without treating it as a failure. Time at $0 is a specific status that can be tracked, compared and eventually completed. The ranking gives that status a clear place in the directory, while the Graduates section gives the next milestone a clear destination. This keeps the language simple for makers who are still validating a launched product.
Zero Revenue Club is built for independent builders who want an honest record of the period before first revenue. It offers a public starting point, an active view of products at $0, and a graduation path when the first dollar arrives. The central idea is concise: track launched products before their first dollar.
