About the Company

Zephyr-7 is a venture backed stealth start-up, focused on the future of online social environments and immersive technology.


We believe that through deliberate and thoughtful design it is possible to create more positive and sustainable online environments, which avoid the negative incentives that impact our current experiences.


Furthermore, as the boundaries between real life and online experiences continue to blur, the amount of personal data and embedded financial value means that security is paramount. Underlying infrastructure must be built robustly, adhering to the highest cybersecurity standards.


We are backed by world class institutional investors that share the importance of our mission (fundraise not yet announced). Our extended runway enables us to focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience.


About the Team

We are a small and growing team, passionate about the future of immersive technology and making the future of online social environments a more positive and secure experience.


We have intentionally kept the team very small and focused on UX research & concept testing. We are now reaching our next phase, and are looking to expand the team with some key hires. 


Diversity & inclusion

The future of online environments is for everyone. It is important that those who help build it, must also represent the views and needs of those who will inhabit it. We strive to be inclusive and welcoming.


Zephyr-7 is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.


Qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.
