MISSION: 
Zoo Labs supports music creators whose work is rooted in bold innovation, lived experience, and community expression – empowering them to fully own and expand their creative paths. We bridge the worlds of music and business by providing artist-tailored entrepreneurial training.

We also support Bay Area creatives through unrestricted funding and a strong professional network, investing in their power to build lasting legacies that drive cultural vibrancy and economic growth.

VISION: 
Zoo Labs envisions a creative ecosystem where music artists are recognized as cultural leaders and are fairly compensated for their work and ideas. We aim to close the gap in access to capital, practical and affordable business education, and strong professional networks—key resources that cultural innovators need to launch and grow thriving creative ventures. 

This work advances economic empowerment, supports the building of intergenerational wealth, and helps eliminate displacement by strengthening artists’ capacity to root and thrive in their communities.

Zoo Labs is a member of Intersection for the Arts & our FUND is administered by Center for Cultural Innovation.
