It was founded as a result of Joe’s own experience in the journey from state schools to Oxford University. With a first-class BA in Philosophy, Policy, and Economics, Joe spent the last £200 of his student loan on the venture, growing it to what it is today. He further established the Zero Gravity Fund, a scholarship fund investing in talented students from low-income backgrounds.
