Zeelo named one of Boston Business Journal’s 2026 Best Places to Work

Warm congratulations to our portfolio company Zeelo on its recognition as one of the Boston Business Journal’s Best Places to Work for 2026.

At ETF Partners, we have long held that the most enduring sustainability companies are not built on technology alone, but on the strength of the cultures that animate them. Capital can fund a roadmap. Only people can deliver one.

Zeelo is a compelling case in point. Under the stewardship of co-founder and CEO Sam Ryan, the team has cultivated something uncommon in growth-stage climate tech: a business in which commercial discipline, environmental ambition, and a genuine regard for its workforce are not competing priorities, but mutually reinforcing ones.

The numbers tell part of the story:

🟢 A mission to widen access to opportunity through sustainable shared transport for frontline workers, students, and modern workforces
🟢 Over 7 million rides delivered in 2024, with every UK journey either fully electric or carbon offset
🟢 175% year-on-year revenue growth across North America, with Boston now a strategic anchor
🟢 A recent $23M Series B to scale AI-driven route optimisation and accelerate the path to Net Zero by 2030

Workplaces of this calibre are not assembled by accident. They are the cumulative product of considered hiring, principled leadership, and a clarity of purpose that gives day-to-day work its meaning. In our experience, this is also the single best leading indicator of durable enterprise value.

A heartfelt well done to the entire Zeelo team across both sides of the Atlantic!

Few honours are more deserved than those conferred by the people you work alongside, and by the city that watches you build.
