Build the ideas.
An annual Fellowship for Series B+ founders, the investors who back them, and the principals who have spent careers helping exceptional companies reach scale.
Recorded at Oxford, Harvard and Davos.
An invitation to Davos, during the World Economic Forum. Then what follows.
Oxford Talks in your city. Mexico City and Barcelona, to begin.
One idea, taken all the way.
One conversation. What the idea is, and who it is for.
Shaped over months. Filmed at Oxford. Released to the world.
The idea, further along. A second stage, a second audience.
Global activations and Circle events. A seat, and a stage, at every one.
