Pitch & Mix

Building something, or want to? Meet the people who'll build it with you.

Programme overview

Pitch & Mix, delivered by EnSpire Oxford, brings together early-stage founders and people with the skills to help them, so ventures can find co-founders, collaborators and expertise.

Pitching? 

Oxford founders (students, researchers, staff and alumni within two years of graduating) give a quick-fire pitch about their venture and the roles they need.

Want to join a startup? 

Anyone from the University or wider community can come along to share their skills, meet founders and explore getting involved, without needing an idea of their own.

After the pitches, there's time to network and agree next steps with potential teammates.

Next event: Wednesday 4 November 2026

How to register

It's free, with advance registration required, and there are no interviews. If you want to pitch, say so when you register, as pitching slots are limited.
