Zero Gravity unleashes the potential of talented students from low-income backgrounds by propelling them into university, work, and life. Since its launch, it's mentored over 8,000 low-income students into highly selective universities and hundreds into elite careers. Believing that talent is spread evenly, but opportunity is not, it's dedicated to changing that so students can achieve futures they once thought impossible.
It unlocks student's potential by breaking down barriers to opportunities through the power of membership. Its mentoring and masterclasses offer an inside track to reaching the best universities and careers, with technology that enables the company to achieve these goals at speed and scale.
Alongside its main initiatives, the company has established Zero Gravity Fund to provide financial support to talented students from low-income backgrounds. Since its inception, it has deployed over £1.5 million in scholarships to Zero Gravity members, further supporting their journey. Through both its programs and financial aid, Zero Gravity is committed to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Zero Gravity, like any great startup, is growing really fast thanks to the successes it is achieving. This makes it a really variable and fun workplace to be in, with long term goals guiding us in a stable way but short term work being very variable, requiring adaptability.

Zero Gravity greatly benefits from Joe being the Founder & CEO. His vision to disrupt current university admission and career recruitment processes for kids from low-income backgrounds is inspiring. In addition to this, the strategy and values held by the company, its employees, and current stakeholders, makes me believe that there is nowhere for Zero Gravity to go apart from the moon 🚀

I joined Zero Gravity because of their people, brand and inspiring mission. There is little support for talented kids from low-income backgrounds wanting to go to university. There is no support whatsoever for them beyond this. What I love most is seeing all the bonafide testimonials and case studies that stream in from the Zero Gravity community 🤩

Zero Gravity is a fast-paced environment led by a dynamic, young team of tech entrepreneurs and startup specialists. Opportunities to learn are abundant because Zero Gravity is growing so fast and everyone is encouraged to be polymathic about their work - drawing on skills and expertise from other divisions & sectors. Everyone in the team also has a ‘Zero Gravity card’ which has £500 to spend on personal development resources such as books, conferences, online courses, etc. It sounds cliche, but you truly learn something new everyday!
