Why I built it

I built the thing that didn't exist when I needed it.

Zero Gravity is a digital platform that identifies talented students from low-opportunity backgrounds and powers them into top universities and careers. It exists because nothing like it existed for me — so I made it, from my childhood bedroom, with the last £200 of my student loan.

The problem I saw

At Oxford I could see it plainly: the talent I grew up around in Morley was every bit as sharp as the talent in my tutorials. The difference wasn't ability — it was access, networks, and knowing the unwritten rules.

Same talent in both columns — everything else — engineered for one of them.

Zero Gravity exists to close that gap.

What we built

Not a charity, not a scheme — a digital platform. Three moving parts, one mission: where you start shouldn't decide where you end up.

Identifying talent

Data-driven targeting finds high-potential students in low-opportunity backgrounds — the ones the system consistently overlooks.

Supporting students
02

Support

One-to-one mentoring from students who've just made the same journey, plus masterclasses and scholarships — £2.3m deployed so far.

Launching careers
03
