We find, fund and build for tomorrow’s challenges, today

Seven years ago OSE was just an idea. Today we are an independent, billion-pound investment company that creates transformational businesses via our unique partnership with the University of Oxford, the world’s #1 university, renowned for its world-leading research. ​

Together with Oxford University we’ve helped create a phenomenal science-business ecosystem, increasing investment in university spinouts from an average of £125m per year (2011-2015) to £1.4bn in 2021, while attracting an impressive influx of scientific and management talent from around the world.
