StEP Ignite
StEP Ignite is a Student Entrepreneurship Programme that brings teams of entrepreneurial students together to develop innovative business ideas, delivered by Oxford University Innovation, in partnership with EnSpire.
Programme Overview
StEP Ignite is a Student Entrepreneurship Programme that brings teams of entrepreneurial students together to develop innovative business ideas. At the end of the programme, all teams will pitch their business ideas to a panel of judges who will select a winner.
The winning team will receive a cash prize to spend on taking the first steps in setting up the business they pitched. In addition you’ll receive a package of support from OUI and will be partnered with business & technology mentors to help make the dream a reality.
They’ll help you get investor ready and support your bids to raise funds through our extensive network of investors who already invest millions into the ideas which come from Oxford; they’ve got a panel of investors ready and waiting to meet you!
Who Can Apply?
StEP Ignite is for any current University of Oxford student member who wants to see if they have what it takes to be an entrepreneur.
