Joe Seddon is the young founder and CEO of one of the fastest growing companies in the UK: Zero Gravity, a social enterprise which connects the UK’s most talented students with mentors, universities, and employers. He has been named as one of the Top 10 Young Digital Leaders in the UK, and has received multiple awards for social impact in education.
Joe built the company after graduating from Oxford with a First Class degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). Outstanding accomplishments, but accomplishments despite his background. Joe grew up in a single-parent household in suburban Yorkshire, where he went to state school. Nothing in his environment suggested he would get to Oxford. He got there anyway, but was struck by how improbable his success was and was determined to change that; to change the chronically low expectations for people from low-opportunity backgrounds.
Listen to Joe Seddon explain exactly how since 2020, Zero Gravity has helped over 15,000 young people get into the prestigious universities that matched their potential.
