Zoo Labs is a non-profit organization based in Oakland, California, with a team of 7 employees. The organization is dedicated to empowering Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) to succeed in the music industry. Zoo Labs offers a unique combination of entrepreneurial training and financial support specifically tailored to the needs of artists. They provide global access to these resources, equipping musicians with the tools and knowledge necessary to launch and grow their creative businesses. In addition to this, Zoo Labs offers unrestricted funding to Bay Area BIPOC musicians, fostering a strong creative community that can support their endeavors. Zoo Labs' mission goes beyond simply providing resources; they aim to create a more equitable ecosystem where artists are recognized as community leaders and fairly compensated for their work.
