OSEF 2026: Pitching Competition
Take your venture to the OSEF stage and pitch to investors for a cash prize.
What it is
The OSEF Pitching Competition gives University of Oxford students, staff and alumni the chance to pitch their ventures to a panel of investors and the global OSEF audience, with a cash prize for the winner.
Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Forum (OSEF) is Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre's flagship one-day conference at Saïd Business School. It brings together entrepreneurs, innovators, business leaders and investors to explore how people and businesses can change the world. If you're selected, you'll join a pitching workshop to sharpen your pitch before taking the stage on Friday 13 November.
