Latest Zinc Company Builder Programme to transform the quality of later life

by Startacus Admin

Do you want to build a new purpose-driven startup with support from a world-class network of experts? Are you looking to have an impact in healthy ageing?
Step forward for the Zinc Company Builder Programme, a unique opportunity for talented and ambitious individuals to find a co-founder, work with leading experts, design and test new ideas, build a purpose-driven business from scratch and access investment.
Zinc helps build companies that tackle the developed world’s toughest social issues. Their intensive full-time programme differs from other startup incubators in that it harnesses the power of a mission to mobilise the best talent, ideas and capital. The next mission is to transform the quality of people's later life.
Over nine-months, 50 ‘Founders’ will design and develop new solutions to address challenges from social isolation and neglected health conditions through to the digital divide and financial insecurity.
They will be supported by an extensive community of Fellows (experts and advisors) from academia, entrepreneurship, creative industries, technology, corporates and the public sector to maximise their success.
Commencing 30 September in London, the programme also provides a £12,000 stipend, access to investment, resources and a shared workspace. Applicants are welcomed from a wide range of career backgrounds, but all will need to share a passion to co-found a commercial mission-led business from scratch.
Applications to join the programme close 21 July 2019. For more information on mission 3, the programme itself and to make that all important application, visit the Zinc Company Builder Programme page.
Good luck to all who apply!
