Circle
Host the ideas.
Oxford Talks, city by city. One curator holds each. Find yours, or claim it.
The talk comes first. Then the work.
A curator finds an idea worth doing, spends twelve weeks shaping it, then puts their own network behind it for a year.
Most talks end with applause. Circle starts there.
One curator per city. No exceptions.
Five hundred cities. Two claimed.
The curator is an Idea VC.
You invest your network, your judgement and your hours, not your money. The return is an idea that got built.
This is for you if
- You are curious across fields, not deep in one
- Your network is wide, and you use it for other people
- You chase the introductions you make
- You would rather do less, better
- You can give ten to twenty hours a month, every month
This is not for you if
- You are building a personal brand
- You keep score of favours
- You want famous names on a poster
- Your interest ends when the event does
- You want the title, not the hours
