Hi there and welcome back to another edition of ScaleUp Radio, the podcast inspired by the Entrepreneurial ScaleUp System and designed to make navigating our ScaleUp journeys that little bit easier by learning from others' experiences.
I’m Kevin Brent and this week on the show I’m joined by Joe Seddon, founder and CEO of Zero Gravity. Joe shares his entrepreneurial journey, starting with just £200 to build an MVP, leveraging storytelling to attract investors, and raising a £425k pre-seed round.
He emphasises focusing on solving one key problem initially, building a strong culture, and hiring for values over skills. Joe's mission is to help students from low-income backgrounds access top universities and careers, breaking the link between socioeconomic status and opportunity.

Most founders I speak to feel busy but stuck; plenty happening, but not always clear on what genuinely matters most this quarter. If that’s you, the G90 Summit is worth a look. A structured half-day where we work through everything competing for your attention, get clear on the three to five things that must happen in the next 90 days, then commit to them and build the system to make sure they actually happen. Quarterly, virtual, £97 a seat.
