“To ensure that every child and young person can develop and maintain good mental and emotional health”

Our next Venture Builder Programme will start in October 2021.

The Zinc Venture Builder programme is a full time, 12 month programme that exists to build brand new companies that tackle the biggest social challenges in the developed world. The programme is designed to be Mission-led for pre-team & pre-idea individuals which means:

• Mission-led: Each of our Venture Builder programmes have a single Mission that tackles a big societal problem.
• Pre-team: You will join the programme as an individual, form bonds with other members of our supportive cohort and through this, create teams during the first stage of the programme.
• Pre-idea: We expect you to come with a passion for the mission but you don’t need to have a strong solidified idea for a solution or business.

With the help of Zinc, our unique mix of Founders create scalable products and services that target millions of customers across the globe, based on the best social science research, exponential technologies and creative design.
