关于这个播客 🔗
Zero.24% is a UK podcast spotlighting Black and underrepresented founders. Speaking to the founders, operators and investors backing them, while navigating a funding system that still underinvests in Black and underrepresented innovators.
Named after the 0.24% of venture capital reportedly received by Black founders in 2024, the show goes beyond inspiration, into the real work, real numbers, and real lessons behind startup growth, bootstrapping, and fundraising, from pre seed through seed and beyond.
Hosted by Michael Livingstone, founder of Dustid.com, each episode delivers honest conversations on resilience, product, go to market, community led growth, pitching, investor readiness, and the unseen challenges of scaling in the UK startup ecosystem. Expect practical insights, unfiltered founder stories, and actionable takeaways for builders and allies who want to make opportunity less exclusive.
New episodes drop every two weeks.
