Zinc

Zinc is a London-based venture capital firm and venture builder focused on creating and backing mission-driven companies in health and environmental innovation. The organization operates programs that help founders and entrepreneurial scientists form companies, validate ideas, and secure initial investment, with a particular emphasis on translating scientific and technical advances into scalable businesses. In healthcare, Zinc has backed startups spanning therapeutics, diagnostics, medtech, and digital health, rather than developing its own proprietary drug pipeline. Its model combines early-stage capital, venture creation support, talent programs, and innovation partnerships to build new companies around major societal challenges.
