Zinc

Zinc is a London-based inception-stage venture builder that turns raw talent into science-for-impact ventures addressing pressing challenges in human and planetary health. Founded in 2017, the organisation runs cohort-based programmes selecting 50–70 founders per cycle, guiding them through an intensive research phase focused on a single societal challenge, and invests in co-founded ventures at the earliest stage. Zinc also offers talent initiatives and innovation partnerships to build the wider science-for-impact ecosystem.
