Where ideas meet momentum

Join us at Saïd Business School, Oxford for an unforgettable evening showcasing what ambition looks like in action. Bringing together founders, investors and the Oxfordshire business community to share ideas, build connections and explore what really drives progress.

The experience starts before the stage in The Founder Connection Lounge

From 4:30pm, guests are invited to take part in a live experience designed to reflect the real journey of building a business. Whether it’s the decisions you’re facing, the support you may be looking for, or the connections that help unlock progress, we’ll explore the practical support that helps move things forward.  Your contributions will be captured in real time and transformed into a big reveal that reflects the Oxford entrepreneurial ecosystem.

What to expect:

• Learn from Constantin Coussios, Oxford University professor and co-founder turning breakthrough science into life-saving medical technology, on scaling ideas and breaking through.  
• Attend the NatWest Accelerator Pitch Oxford Live Final, with five inspirational finalists competing for a share of £100k.
• Hear from the co-founders of Luna, previous Pitch winner & University of Oxford alumni on how the prize helped level up their business. 
• Witness the power of having the community you need in one place – and see the big reveal shaped by our earlier audience insights.
• Cocktails, live music, BBQ and time to celebrate with our Pitch winners and connect with founders and partners.

Why attend:

Hear how founders move their businesses forward, connect with others who understand the journey, and discover the support available through the Accelerator and initiatives like Equinox.

Come to be inspired. Stay for the connections and support that lasts well beyond the evening.
