Joe Seddon is a British social-entrepreneur and technologist best known as the founder and CEO of Zero Gravity, the award-winning digital platform that supports high-potential students from low-opportunity backgrounds into top universities and careers. Raised in a single-parent family in West Yorkshire, he studied PPE at Oxford, where his own experience of social mobility shaped his mission to widen access. He launched Zero Gravity in 2020 from the last £200 of his student loan, teaching himself to code and building a mentoring model that has since supported thousands of students into Russell Group universities and elite employers. Recognised by Forbes 30 Under 30, the Prime Minister’s Points of Light Award, and major industry prizes, Seddon has become a leading voice on the future of social mobility, arguing that talent is universal but opportunity is not — and that technology can help close that gap.
