Build and scale your fintech or digital asset venture with Oxford and Ripple behind you.

Programme Overview

UDAX Oxford (University Digital Asset Xcelerator), delivered by Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre in partnership with Ripple, is an 8-week accelerator for fintech, digital asset and financial infrastructure startups. It particularly welcomes ventures building on, or connecting to, the XRP Ledger.

It's open to founders anywhere in the world, and you don't need an Oxford connection. Teams should already have a working prototype or MVP and a clear plan to scale.

Over eight weeks, you'll get mentoring from Oxford and Ripple experts, workshops on product, regulation, fundraising and go-to-market, and access to Oxford's entrepreneurship network. The programme ends with a Demo Day at Ripple's London office, in front of investors and partners. It's free, and travel and accommodation for the in-person sessions are covered where applicable.

Applications for 2026 are now closed.
