Zinc VC

We focus on specific ‘missions’, which we believe unite, mobilise and organise the best talent, knowledge and capital that are needed to break through at scale. Within each of our missions, we run Venture Builder programmes that help individuals to have impact.\n\nWe have 3 criteria for choosing a Zinc mission:\n1. It must tackle one of the great unmet needs in the developed world;\n2. The target addressable market must exceed 100m people in the developed world alone;\n3. There must be lots of unexploited opportunities to disrupt, extend and improve existing services through new technologies and insights from research.\n\nSince we launched in 2017, we have been developing a unique ecosystem of diverse talent across many sectors, disciplines and countries - mobilising people around a common mission and building scalable solutions to social problems.\n\nEach of our programmes provide unique opportunities for R\u0026D. We are committed to building a new commercial innovation system for the social sciences, to increase the impact of existing research and to generate new R\u0026D opportunities through our ventures.
