Oxford Cambridge Fellowship: Cohort 2

The Oxford Cambridge Fellowship is where the UK's startup corridor, London, Oxford, and Cambridge, opens its doors to the world. This is access. Not a course. Not a product. In the last cohort, over 130 ambitious founders, operators, and investors applied. Only 30 made it in. Within days, one fellow walked away with a £50,000 angel cheque. Another found their co-founder. One secured a place in an Oxbridge incubator. Billion-dollar-exit entrepreneurs flew from San Francisco to mentor. That was the beginning. This year, we raise the bar. What's new for Cohort 2.0 We will select five startups or exceptional talent to fast-track their EWOR applications, and two to advance directly to the latter-stage interview. Selected participants also benefit from a €500K funding opportunity through EWOR, one of Europe's most selective founder fellowships with a 0.1% acceptance rate. We are partnering with Lucas AI, where you play an interactive game and get a chance to win one year of your tuition fees. We are also partnering with Redwood Founders. Select applicants will receive priority access to After Hours Cohort 1. In collaboration with Uncooked Jobs, the trust layer for hiring. Founders will also benefit from priority access to the Uncooked platform to help build their early team. Featuring technical sessions from Anthropic and Lovable. Supported by University of Cambridge partners, University of Oxford partners, and London innovation partners.
