We want to build together an innovative, sustainable and inclusive economy through the leverage of private investment conveyed with medium to long term payback prospects. What we believe inWealth can generate more wealth, if invested in responsible entrepreneurs: The accountability of the business that acts in the best interests of all the stakeholders who are drawn to it, develops value over the medium and long terms, and turns out to be a superior investment. Sustainable innovation: We give access to innovative investments that will shape our future economy: we give priority to those who have already embarked on a path of medium-long term economic, social and environmental sustainability, also to reduce risk and acquire greater prospective value Simplicity, Clarity and Transparency: We utilize technology to streamline procedures and provide a seamless, delightful user experience. Even the most complicated documents are made simple to read and comprehend in order to promote wise and informed investment. Through the online platform and special meetings set up by our Investment Managers, all the pertinent information concerning the potential investment is made available.

How? By conveying venture capital in the service of the birth and development of innovative and sustainable enterprises that can bring positive effects to society. Every day Doorway strives to create real impact by contributing to some of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through its business activities. SDG 4: Quality education - Through the financial education activities carried out during the year and the training initiatives for investors and founders. SDG 5: Gender equality - Doorway promotes the culture of innovation and wants to support successful founders, especially of the female gender, who usually find it more difficult to raise capital. SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth - Through fundraising, Doorway supports those companies that want to grow and expand in Italy and abroad, creating wealth and jobs, especially for young people. Often the investment rounds are used precisely to structure teams and hire new resources.

Zinc exists to build and scale a brand-new way to solve the world's most important societal problems. Our approach empowers the most talented and motivated people in the world to redirect their careers and have a large-scale social impact as entrepreneurs, researchers and intrapreneurs. Mission-Led Approach We focus on specific ‘missions’, which we believe unite, mobilise and organise the best talent, knowledge and capital that are needed to break through at scale. Within each of our missions, we run Venture Builder and Academy programmes that help individuals to have impact. We have 3 criteria for choosing a Zinc mission: It must tackle one of the great unmet needs in the developed world. The target addressable market must exceed 100m people in the developed world alone. There must be lots of unexploited opportunities to disrupt, extend and improve existing services through new technologies; insights from research. Since we launched in 2017, we have been developing a unique ecosystem of diverse talent across many sectors, disciplines and countries – mobilising people around a common mission and building scalable solutions to social problems. Each of our programmes provide unique opportunities for R&D. We are committed to building a new commercial innovation system for the social sciences, to increase the impact of existing research and to generate new R&D opportunities through our ventures. Zinc’s main financial backer is the London School of Economics. Zinc is also a member of the ASPECT consortium which is focused on accelerating the impact of social science.
