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.

Make sure you don’t miss any future episodes by subscribing to ScaleUp Radio wherever you like to listen to your podcasts.

Stay tuned for Joe's insights on building and scaling a mission-driven tech startup. Let's dive in!

Kevin's Latest Book Is Available!

Drawing on BizSmart’s own research and experiences of working with hundreds of owner-managers, Kevin Brent explores the key reasons why most organisations do not scale and how the challenges change as they reach different milestones on the ScaleUp Journey. He then details a practical step by step guide to successfully navigate between the milestones in the form of ESUS - a proven system for entrepreneurs to scale up.
