Welcome to the official press page for fromZero - The Favicon Gallery — a bold, transparent experiment rewriting what it means to build online.
Turn almost $0 into $9.99M by claiming 1 of 100,000 unique tiles in The Favicon Gallery — a living digital mosaic and proof-of-concept that action beats capital.
It’s a radical proof-of-concept: action beats capital.
The Favicon Gallery is a bold, transparent experiment rewriting the rules of online entrepreneurship.
It’s a living digital mosaic of 100,000 clickable tiles — each a permanent micro-ad, backlink, and piece of internet history.
Built from almost $0, powered by AI, and fueled by community, the project aims to reach $9.99 million in revenue — without funding, investors, or shortcuts.
Whether you're a journalist, creator, influencer, researcher, or podcast host, this is your front-row seat to a real-time internet phenomenon.
🎯 About the Project
The Favicon Gallery is a live digital experiment aiming to build a $9.99 million business from $0 — using only a domain name, AI, and viral reach.
It’s a mosaic of 100,000 permanent advertising tiles, each representing a small piece of internet real estate. Every tile is a backlink, a micro ad, and a cultural marker — all owned by individuals, creators, or brands.
But this isn’t just about ad space.
It’s a radical proof-of-concept: action beats capital.
No investors. No gatekeepers. Just creativity, community, and momentum — in public view.
Claim your space on the 100,000-tile Favicon Gallery. Own a Piece of the Internet .
🧠 Personal Motivation
This project is deeply personal.
For years, I wrestled with overthinking, procrastination, negative self-talk, and the fear of failure. Like many aspiring creators, I wasn’t short on ideas or passion — but execution always felt like climbing a mountain of internal resistance.
The Favicon Gallery is my way of breaking that cycle.
A public challenge to move forward despite fear.
To act, even when I don’t feel ready.
To build — not because I have all the answers, but because I got tired of waiting for them.
This project isn’t perfect.
It will likely include flaws, bugs, and missteps — and that’s part of the point.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress.
Imperfect action is infinitely more powerful than perfect hesitation.
Another key driver is learning.
This is my real-world classroom — a space to experiment with marketing, virality, AI, and audience-building. I’m not chasing theory. I’m chasing firsthand knowledge, gained through doing. Even the failures will teach more than any course or book ever could.
Ultimately, I hope this project generates enough capital to fund future ideas and help others do the same — creating a loop of action → learning → growth.
But more than a business, this is a movement:
To inspire others to start.
To show that you don’t need to be fearless — just willing.
To prove that action doesn’t just build projects — it transforms people.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or “not ready,” I built this for you.
I’m building it for me too.
Let’s move forward — together.
