What We Do

"The science community often favours established figures, leaving emerging talent without support or resources - just when they need it most."

Tom Hurd, Co-Founder & CEO

In a world where talent discovery can be subjective and biased, Zeki provides a data-led solution to simplify and bring equity to the process. With our novel technology, we map millions of scientists worldwide to enable those who invest in research to discover the most promising minds.

Science talent is the driving force behind ground-breaking solutions that tackle the world's most pressing challenges, from climate change to pandemics. At Zeki, we bridge the gap between those seeking to identify talent and ideas to fund, and the scientists, and companies searching for investment or their next impactful role.

Our ambitions have been put to the test. We achieved proof of concept in September 2022 through a joint project with the now UK Department for Science Innovation and Technology. This project used Zeki’s analysis to map trends in global talent working in Quantum-related areas of science.

How are we different?

Unlike traditional talent discovery methods that rely on metrics like publications or grants, we consider each individual as a whole. We recognise that talent comes in many forms - some may be entrepreneurs who are actively working to find novel solutions, while others may have fewer grants or publications but possess immense untapped potential. With our technology, we can identify multiple performance metrics to showcase the diverse and emerging talent that may have been overlooked.
