Zero Gravity

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.

• Stand up straight - We say what we think and mean 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 - 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. Because playing it safe ≠ progress
• Change it up - Innovation comes from challenging convention. So we say no to the status quo and constantly seek to disrupt our own thinking. Because the best ideas are often found in the strangest of places
• Make it happen - 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
