Zoo Labs: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
Our mission at Zoo Labs is to empower individuals from Black, Indigenous, and communities of color to take ownership of their music projects and amplify their voices. By bridging the gap between art and business, we offer tailored entrepreneurial training to artists around the world. Additionally, we provide unrestricted funding and a supportive creative community for BIPOC musicians in the Bay Area. Our vision is to create an ecosystem where artists are recognized as leaders within their communities and are fairly compensated for their artistic work and ideas. We strive to address the lack of financial resources and practical, affordable business education that cultural innovators often face when starting and growing their creative businesses. Zoo Labs is proud to be a member of Intersection for the Arts and our funding is managed by the Center for Cultural Innovation.

About FundedIQ's Zoo Labs Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Zoo Labs is left off this page rather than filled in.
