From Vision to Venture

Join us for an afternoon to feel more equipped to develop an idea or simply discover if entrepreneurship is for you through two sessions run by Stanford University professor and entrepreneur, Jack Fuchs.


From Vision to Venture: An Afternoon of Entrepreneurship

What it is

Every entrepreneurial journey starts somewhere. But how do you know if an idea has potential, and what does it take to turn it into a business?

Join Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre for an in-person afternoon with Jack Fuchs, Stanford University lecturer, investor and global entrepreneur. Whether you’re exploring entrepreneurship for the first time or already have an idea you’d like to develop, you’ll get practical insights from someone who has built and backed businesses, and leave with a clearer sense of your next step.

What you’ll explore

  • What makes a great entrepreneurial business
  • The different paths founders can take
  • How to identify and evaluate entrepreneurial opportunities

Already have an idea? A deeper-dive session will look at opportunity frameworks, financing fundamentals and the principles that shape a founder’s journey.
