Oxford Entrepreneurs Network

Oxford Entrepreneurs Network is for Oxford-educated founders, investors and mentors. Oxonians supporting Oxonians in startups.

Why you should join: Regular virtual events including mentoring, pitch sessions and bootcamps, plus a global network of Oxonians interested in the startup world.

The one-liner

A global network for Oxford-educated founders, investors and mentors.

What they actually sell

The Oxford Entrepreneurs Network connects Oxford-educated founders, investors and mentors. It runs virtual events such as mentoring, dolphin tanks and bootcamps, plus in-person events in several cities. The network grew out of an alumni group in the San Francisco Bay Area and was recognised by the University of Oxford in 2019. The public page does not show a membership price. Anyone copying this should notice that the sale rests on one clear outcome rather than a long feature list.

Who pays and why

Oxford alumni interested in startups. The pull is a trusted network. They pay for virtual events, mentoring, bootcamps and local events in several cities. Founders, investors and mentors who share an Oxford background and want introductions inside the startup world. The emotional pull is being around people chasing the same thing, which matters as much as any single lesson.

Where the members come from

Oxford alumni ties are the channel, with more than 3,000 members, official recognition as an alumni organisation and local events in San Francisco, Boston, New York, DC and London.

What's holding it back

Membership is limited to alumni, which caps size. The page does not show price. With events in several cities, quality can vary from one local group to the next.

Steal this

Use a shared identity, such as a university, as the filter for the room.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for other alumni groups. Weak for open networks.
