Two groups make Batch Zero work: mentors who have built things and give a team eight weeks, and student ambassadors who find the founders worth backing at their own schools.
One who knows your domain, one who has built a company end to end. Every mentor is interviewed and background-checked before being matched.

Ambassadors run Batch Zero at their own school: they find students already building something, get them to apply, and bring their school into the first cohorts. It's the fastest way onto the founding team of something new.
Every school has three or four students already shipping something. You know who they are, or you can find out in a week.
Ambassador on the founding team, commission on what you bring in, and a reference from a program you helped build.
Posters, a class announcement, a few conversations, one group chat. No experience needed — just knowing your school.
