The Centre brings the investment world of Oxfordshire and London together with entrepreneurs and enables them to contact investors regionally, nationally and internationally (and vice versa).
Investment networks in the Oxfordshire region include:
|
Angel networks & early stage/seed funding opportunities |

Oxford Early Investment
Oxford Early Investments (OEI) is a business angel network that focuses on companies at the very early stages of technical and commercial development. It provides investors with opportunities that are at an earlier stage than those selected to present to OION. The two networks aim to provide investors with the widest possible range of investment opportunities, both in terms of stage of development and capital requirements. |

University of Oxford proof of concept and seed funds
The University has created three investment funds in recent years accessible to University researchers for the development of technologies for commercialisation. Although they differ in minor aspects, mainly related to the ways they were originally created, the Funds can be treated as identical from the researchers perspective. |
