-
Building on the success of Fund I, the Oxford Angel Fund announced the first close of Fund II with the goal of investing in a diverse portfolio, comprising 25 to 30 companies operating in many industries and employing novel technologies and business models.
Focused on US-based companies founded by Oxford alumni from many intellectual disciplines.
Geographically distributed across the US, with a focus on Boston, NY, DC, LA, SF Bay Area, San Diego, and Seattle (80+% of US VC market).

Inspired by the quality of pitches presented by Oxford-educated founders at the Oxford Entrepreneurs of the Bay (OEB), the Oxford Angel Fund I was formed as an “experimental” fund comprising investments by Bay Area Oxonians.
