Our take
ZOE is a science-first nutrition company shaking up everything we thought we knew about healthy eating. Behind the bold mission is a simple truth: the food we eat is often making us sick, and one-size-fits -all advice just isn't cutting it anymore. So, ZOE is flipping the script with the world's largest nutrition study and real, personalised insights based on users' bodies.
Its approach is all about turning cutting-edge science into everyday habits. Whether it's through its ZOE Membership (which already has over 100,000 users), the plant-packed Daily30+ supplement, or expert-packed podcasts, its helping people discover what truly works for their bodies. And it's not just theory, randomised trials show that the right food can make a noticeable difference in just weeks.

Company values
- We are diverse and build upon each other positively - We are a collaborative team working toward a common goal. We are positively intended & respectful, intentional in our active listening and seeking diverse perspectives, and we make space for all to participate
- We ❤️ to create moments of joy whenever possible - We create moments of joy whenever possible and encourage meaningful balance, recognizing our mission is a marathon, not a sprint. It all starts by us being intentional in building great relationships with each other
- Always start by understanding our members - We always start by understanding our members’ needs and work backwards to deliver delightful solutions that exceed their expectations and have their health top of mind, with a commitment to ethics, education, privacy, and simplicity
- Take a scientific, evidence-based approach - As a health company, science comes first. We utilize a scientific approach, starting with a hypothesis and seeking evidence to assess and iterate. We stay open-minded, learn from our mistakes and strive to keep improving every day
- We are transparent, especially when it is hard - By having a bias to share publicly and openly, we build a transparent culture that empowers participation from everyone. We value feedback, communicate openly, voice the truth (even when it’s hard) and explain “the why” to help each other grow
- Act fast, we’ve got your back - As a startup, speed is crucial to our success. Many decisions and actions are reversible. We are scarce with our time, not reinventing the wheel or seeking perfection and act on 70% evidence so we can learn and iterate. We encourage all our team members to take risks, change course when necessary, and go for it—we have their backs, always
- Dive deep - We operate at all levels, caring about the details that matter and being able to connect them to the bigger picture with coherent logic. As such, we are able to quickly distinguish between “feel-good” metrics or “seemingly good” ideas from the ones that truly matter or capture the truth
- Empower ZOEntists to act as owners - We are intentional in empowering more ZOEntists to act as owners on behalf of the entire company without interdependencies and we continuously set up new systems, frameworks & principles to enable this. We also back them in their decisions, even when we disagree
