Ella is a Research Fellow on Ageing at Zinc working to embed gerontological evidence into early-stage startups.

Zinc exists to build and scale a brand-new way to solve the most important societal problems faced by the developed world.

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.

Zinc adopts a mission-based approach and Ella's work centres on their third mission. This mission is to improve the quality of later life, and Zinc support startups across sectors in this space.
