The culture behind Zero Gravity

​

"At Zero Gravity we’ve defined a set of distinctive values that bring everything we do back to our mission. Talent is spread evenly, but opportunity is not. We’re changing that, so that ambitious students can land the future they didn’t think possible. Our values aren’t vacuous soundbites, they’re distinctive behaviours that drive our decision-making, inform who we choose to hire and how we design our processes and products. We turn potential into action, and it's our culture that empowers us to do that.

 

We’re building a high-performance environment from the bottom up, through team and culture. That means we’re creating an environment where everyone is empowered by being part of a high-performing team who are turning inaction into action and solving a real social problem, at scale. We’ve brought our values to life with names and posters around the office to guide and impact our day-to-day work and all we do to enact the mission:

 

Stand up straight.

A defiant President Zelenskyy stares fearlessly into the camera. We believe in saying what we think and meaning what we say. We’re straight talkers who hold ourselves and others to a high standard, owning our mistakes and always striving for improvement.

​

Run towards danger.

18-year-old Emma Raducanu brings home the first women’s Grand Slam singles title since 1977. We push ourselves to the limit and refuse to stand still. We embrace imposter syndrome by taking risks, failing fast, and venturing into the unknown.

 

Change it up.

Music pioneer Jimi Hendrix can be seen shredding on his famous Strat. Innovation comes from challenging convention, so we say no to the status quo and constantly seek to disrupt our own thinking.

​

Make it happen.

The inspiring Prof. Sarah Gilbert, co-creator of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine owns this one. We focus on creating incredible results rather than obsessing over process. There’s an inherent drive in our work: a bias toward taking action, moving fast, and delivering what matters.
