Zero Gravity has been selected for the Impact Fifty Award
Zero Gravity
Zero Gravity is the first tech startup in the world that is developing technology to identify top talent from low-income backgrounds and incubate it, so that those people can reach their full potential.
While opportunity may not be evenly distributed, raw talent is. In the UK, every year there are 50,000 students from “low-income backgrounds” who achieve top grades at school. However, roughly only a third of these students make it to top universities and even fewer into top careers. This leads to hundreds of thousands of young people not fulfilling their maximum potential.
At the heart of the work that Zero Gravity is doing in trying to unlock opportunity for all regardless of background or geography, Zero Gravity is propeling low-income students into the UK's best universities and careers powered by mentoring, masterclasses and Zero Gravity’s membership community - all provided through Zero Gravity’s platform.
Launched in 2020, Zero Gravity has already mentored 3,000+ students from low-income backgrounds into Russell Group universities. Zero Gravity is now also mentoring thousands of students into elite graduate careers, driving diversity at global companies such as HSBC and KPMG. Zero Gravity has also raised the largest scholarship fund in the UK, deploying over £800k of scholarships to low-income students in the past year.
