Hello,
I'm completing a postdoctoral R&D fellowship with Zinc (www.zinc.vc), where we run a venture builder programme to support founders from diverse backgrounds to build evidence-based companies around social missions. Our next programme is focused on transforming the industries that have the most impact on our environmental crisis - here's all the info in one sheet (https://www.zinc.vc/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Zinc-Venture-Builder-2022.pdf). Essentially, we’re looking for exceptional individuals who want to create a brand-new commercial venture to tackle the environmental crisis. Zinc will provide investment of up to £250,000, as well as an intensive 12-month programme of support.
I'm posting here because we're very keen to attract researchers and academic experts across a broad range of disciplines - SHAPE and STEM - spanning fields of research relating to climate change to the programme, both as founders and advisory Fellows (current Fellows include Henry Dimbleby, Geoff McGrath (CKDelta) and Clare Brass (department 22)). Would you be happy to circulate the opportunity to your networks, and/or have a brief chat about the mission and what we do? If you would like to learn more, I’m happy to jump on a call - just drop me an email at [log in to unmask] – or you can join one of our upcoming Meet & Greets, either online or in-person (https://events.zinc.vc/venture-builder-meet-greet). Guidance on the application process can be found at https://apply.workable.com/zinc-ventures-limited/j/D79DBD1FC7/.
Many thanks
Dr Laura McKenzie
