Work, reconstructed from scratch.
Why do we compensate people for tasks, platforms and admin burden — instead of the mindset and values needed to evolve? Employee0 is a venture advisory rethinking the exchange of time for the exchange of value.
The Parties
This agreement is entered into by anyone who shapes, studies, finds, funds or reports on work.
Small businesses
Build teams around capability, not headcount and overhead.
Jobseekers
Be valued for the mindset you bring, not the forms you fill in.
Government officials
Design programs that reward shared benefits and adaptability.
Journalists
Examine how work is measured, and whom the measurements serve.
Policymakers
Shape the rules that decide what work is worth.
Enterprise leaders
Align technology, talent and value — without adding admin.
Academic institutions
Help researchers put their expertise to work — and be valued fairly for it, wherever they apply it.
Recitals
Where this comes from.
WHEREAS Joshua Schwebel’s The Employee turned an exhibition contract into the artwork itself — a work about the conditions of its own production: contracts, procurement systems, web forms, email and resumes;
WHEREAS Lucy Lippard placed art as the counterpoint to work;
WHEREAS international experience, diversity of thought, relations, network effects and trust compound in value;
NOW, THEREFORE, Employee0 rejects negative establishmentarianism — not institutions — and critiques the labour market from inside it. The irony is aimed at the system, never at the people or partners working within it.
Terms of Compensation
Success criteria are agreed by everyone the work affects.
Every change is tested against them.
The work is iterative. There is no fixed endpoint.
Scope of Engagement
We discuss how to leverage technology to maximize talent and build value-aligned systems.
Advisory conversations
Structured sessions on where technology frees talent — and where it only adds administration.
Value-aligned systems
Rethinking how roles, incentives and tools reward shared benefits and evolution rather than time served.
Relations & network
Connecting people across sectors and borders, because trust and network effects compound.
Execution
Every relationship starts with a form. This one ends in a conversation.
There is no cart. This opens the booking page.
The Signatory
Attached to and forming part of this agreement.
No two markets, cultures, businesses, or cohorts of people are the same. The most successful enterprises are driven by curious leaders — the ones who do it for the thrill of continuous learning and growth.
Be curious, welcome change, and enjoy what you do, always.
